Nor should you care how your music is mastered. I am talking about what monitors was your music MASTERED ON.

You could go out a limb as say the Yamaha NS10M was a tool used to evaluate the quality of the sound on low fidelity systems. Yes, I would not use them as THE speakers I listen to music on. Furthermore, the main studio monitors, like B&W 802 or Wilson Audio Grand Slamm, may be used in most instances for the majority of the recording we listen to.

The conundrum is we evaluate music that was created with a highly variable set of microphones and the mastered on a another highly variable set of monitors. It's that circle of confusion the folks at Harman International and Floyd Toole have been talking about for years. Even more so we all listen differently, have different educations on how to listen, and even like to judge with our eyes AND ears.

Check this out.. where are you in the tree of life?
