YES !

absolutely . In some cases they listen thru good speakers as well and maybe it all works out , maybe not.

It has gotten even worse as of late ! not only do they listen thru so-so speakers during evaluation they also record alot of music hot and relatively compressed compared with years gone by .

Abba went to some pains in their recordings and they were good but some of the dreaded remasters are simply louder , with less dynamic range , less clarity.
