Not an Audiophile, just a dude who loves music, and decent gear to hear it with.

    I had a pair of these and I loved them...easy to drive and gave me years of enjoyment with nary a problem. When I got them in 1990, I compared them to 2 or 3 other speakers that I can't even remember now (Cerwin-Vega and Infinity come to mind) and the 11T's were the best sounding overall, to my ears anyway. I gave them away to my brother years ago and when I heard them again last fall, it was the nudge I needed to get back nto 2 channel again.

    Too bad for Stereophile...they're a pretty good front set for a HT!
