I picked up a pair of Monitor 11's about a year ago and I love em to death. I had the Monitor 9's and they excelled in a nice fat base, but the 11's were so much more accurate with symphonic works I traded the 9's in.

Check out Willy Nelson's Starlight on the new 20bit remaster CD. I picked it up and holy cow...talk about pin point accuracy!!! A lot of times I'll have to put my ear up to my CC to make certain that it's not getting a signal.

An even more fun disc is DJ. Shadow's Private Press. It's got some absolutly amazing "surround" mixing. It's all in 2 channel, but on many tracks the CD has music recorded 180 degrees out of phase...causing the sound to jump behind you. (Not to mention at times it sounds that music is about 15 feet out of your room....and then it slowly creeps into the room with you). The 11's still leave me astounded with material that should be listened to on a speaker like that.

Happy Listening
