    Just as I suspected after listening to them at your place, my wife wants me to use them in the 2 CH rig and move the SDA 2-B's to the family room system (pssst... it ain't gonna' happen!) She likes the 11's over the SDA's because of the slightly crisper highs and attenuated bass the 11's provide with the "padding" on the passive sub-bass radiators. She's turning into quite the little audiophile - gotta' love it!

    Thanks for selling me (another) great set of Polks.

    Mike,

    Glad to hear that they were a hit with your wife - they do produce a fantastic sound. It was great meeting you.... enjoy the 11's!

    My place looks twice as large with the 11's gone. So... I've been looking at the space and thinking, 2 CH bookshelves, or .... hmmm, 5.1 surround with perhaps one of the Polk Sub/Sat packages?? But, I'm going to finish the basement first and then worry about the LR.... so about 3 more weeks 'til that decision!

    This place is great, Polkies at their best.

    Marty,

    I'd love to see the HT when you finish the remodel project. Audio-filly and the kids are movie fan(atic)s. When I described what you're doing, I got a very expensive sounding "well?" from her.
    :eek: FrankZ has already given me some great ideas on incorporating all the Maggies I have into a HT setup.

    ... and still room for more. :D

    BMDP,
    Your counterpoint is a hybrid... Yes? I've never heard, but have been intrigued by them in the past.

    Can't wait to see on our home page say:
    "Newest Member: audio_filly"

    I think I get royalties, or at least dibs on the next Mon 11 move...

    Later

    More later,
    Tour...

    T2,

    It's been a solid performer with my Maggie MG-1s for nearly 20 years. I auditioned several amps back then and it was a hands-down winner for me with jazz and blues. I smoked the power transformer in it awhile back and, after looking/pricing/listening to several things in its class, I decided to bite the bullet and have Mike Elliot rebuild it for me. That's were it is right now (Alta Vista Audio in CA). I hope to have it back shortly.
    I think I get royalties, or at least dibs on the next Mon 11 move...
    Next 11's are yours for sure. At the moment, I'm lusting for a pair of SDA 1's or SDA-SRS 1.2's (yeah, I know - dream on!) - then, I'll need a larger home!!

    Take care,

    Mike

    Mike - I have a pair of SDA1C's for you when we're both ready. I'm on the prowl.

    Deal! (man, I'm glad audio-philly is asleep at the moment)
