About the Monitor 11
The Paradigm Monitor 11 is a high-performance floorstanding speaker featuring a 5-driver, 3-way bass reflex design with a quasi-3rd-order resistive port. It includes three 165-mm carbon-infused polypropylene woofers, a 140-mm midrange driver with a separate sealed chamber, and a 25-mm S-PAL dome tweeter that is ferro-fluid cooled and damped. The speaker delivers a frequency response of ±2 dB from 42 Hz to 22 kHz on-axis and maintains ±2 dB from 42 Hz to 18 kHz at 30° off-axis. It has a high sensitivity of 93 dB (room) and 90 dB (anechoic), with a low frequency extension down to 30 Hz (DIN). The crossover network uses a 3rd-order electro-acoustic design at 2.2 kHz and a 2nd-order at 700 Hz for the lower bass drivers. The impedance is compatible with 8 ohms, and the speaker supports amplifier power from 15 to 250 watts, with a maximum input power of 180 watts. The Monitor 11 weighs 55.3 lbs and measures 41.5" H x 7.875" W x 13.5" D. It was available in Black Ash and Heritage Cherry finishes. The speaker is noted for its high efficiency, excellent soundstage, solid detail, and low distortion, making it suitable for both music and home theater applications. It has been praised for its dialogue intelligibility and ability to deliver powerful bass extension without requiring excessive amplifier power. The Monitor 11 has been discontinued but remains respected for its performance and build quality.
