I learned to mix at low levels on near fields. It seems to reduce the influence of the room through proximity to the source and fewer reflections from the lower level. It also leads you to listen more carefully, and remain more objectively "on top" of the music and mix, rather than getting immersed inside it (as we hope are listeners will be.) If it sounds good that way, then turning up the volume fills out the sound and the necessary adjustments become clearer.
