In my opinion the Esoteric would be my choice if looking for more of a neutral presentation. A friend had one going directly into a rack of Jeff Rowland power amps, just using the variable output.

I've heard the 11s in a few different systems, it's a great value performing beyond it's price. I'd choose it if looking for a more musical but not necessarily so linear presentation. It's nicely extended in the extremes and good pace.

Both brands are quite good and I think it would come down to listening preference and system synergy.

If considering used look at the levinson #512, incredible sound but lacking modern features, for example, no 5-channel or digital inputs, upsampling etc. just plays SACD/CD. But it plays those very very well :)
