<<IMHO, for accurate postprocessing and mastering a pair of near field
monitors is essential. >>

Aside from the fact that there is no real agreement on what
constitutes near field vs mid field vs distant field, it is not only
possible, but in fact common in the professional mastering industry to
rely on monitors which are not in the near field. What are generally
termed near field speakers are generally smallish systems which,
although often good at presenting detail, are almost always shy in the
bass extension department & thus of limited value for true mastering
purposes.
