At this price point, you must give them a listen...
You can use the 911's as mono amplifiers as well, giving you more options. Start with one and if you need more juice get a 2nd one. When I had dinner with Dieter Burmester at CES, he said the current 911 is definitely a bit faster amp than the 909, but the 909 had unlimited power.
I have not had a chance to audition the 909 yet, but I am a huge fan of the 911mk 3.
Depending on how loud you need to listen to music, you might be ok. I've been driving my Magnepans with a single 911, pretty effortlessly. I've also had good luck with my Harbeth Monitor 40.1's which have a sensitivity of 86db/1 watt.
