My monitoring setup is varied...I use a combination ov various headphones, PC Speakers (Logitech 5.1 system), and a 25 - 30 year old Stereo system with the matching original speakers and some small book shelf speakers (the stereo reciever/amp has A and B channels for the speakers so I can use either or or both) and once it sounds good here I burn a CD and check it out in the car.....if it's good in all these places it's good pretty much anywhere...

The FirePod is great! The Inspire as far as I can tell is just a model replacement for the FireBox seeing that it's been out for a couple of years. Presonus driver support is pretty good. The only one I've found better is Edirol. I look at alot of M-Audio stuff but the driver support just isn't there, especially with Vista. I like your method of using multiple devices for monitoring. I do the same and find it helps particularly with bass frequencies. When I mix something with my PM04's to my liking I find it has WAY too much bass on my Logitechs. If I figure out how to upload a clip, I'll put one up.
