Hi P911! Welcome to Club Polk! Here is the information you are looking for.
http://www.polksda.com/rta11t.shtmlMarantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2 -
I got two pair of them (one pair too many, I gotta trim the collection down), they sound great. They are more than twice the speaker cabinet, nearly twice the drivers, they are more of a full range speaker, they will dig deeper and play louder. That does not mean they are twice the speaker or sound twice as good. The monitor % and 7 give you a lot of great sound out of a small package.Dodd - Battery Preamp
Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
Outlaw ICBM - crossover
Beringher BFD - sub eq
Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

I had Monitor 10's & Monitor 11's while owning the RTA11 and IMHO the RTA11 beats 'em both easily. Welcome to the forum BTW!Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro

How and why exactly?CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint. -
