Good advice.  I would point out, though, that it's really important to

know the frequency range limitations of your monitors.  If your monitors

have a range of 50Hz - 15kHz, for example, you could have some very

unfortunate things going on at 40Hz and not have any hint of it until

you heard the mix on a full range system.  No matter how familiar you

are with your monitors, if you've got stuff going on that they can't

reproduce, you'll never know.
