The PSB stratus mini is a descent enough speaker for the $1100 price range new. It's not world class, but not a slug either. It's got nice enough midrange, better than average bass, and has descent immaging. The top is rolled a bit compared to other monitors in it's price (B&W CDM/NT's and up), and resolution is just descent. Overall, it deserves the "Class C" rating stereophile gave it. If you do chose these, use an amp with some good top end energy to keep the balance on top up to speed!
Actually, for half the price of the Stratus mini's, you can find a pair of Energy C-2's floating around the net, you should give them a shot! For 2 channel dubties, I doubt you'll find a better speaker for around $200-300 used!!!!
