Price range is irrelevant - I'm willing to spend a decent chunk of money, so throw me your best low end, mid range, and high end speakers that you love.
Thanks!
Actually it is not so much "debate" as the fact tracking and mixing/mastering are simply two different situations, with different requirements.

There may exceptions, but generally speaking:

For tracking most audio recording engineers prefer closed back for more isolation and less bleed into sensitive LDC mics

For mixing as mentioned open back HP's tend have have less issues with hyped or colored low end.
There may be a "One Trick Pony" but I am not aware of them, and use two different HP's in my studio
I do use the Senn 280 for tracking But use the Senn 600 for mixing
