hahaha Kmeek, you sound like me. Except I would have bought them both. LOL

That would be incorrect... the 3.1TL is passive as well. Their sales literature on them from the time, as well as Ray’s SDA Compendium state as much.The Gear...

Well crap, I stand corrected! It is passive....

I had a pair of 3.1TL's.
They were very neglected but sounded pretty good.
My room was too small for them so sold.

Thank you for the heads up on this one! I just bought them. Holy cow! They sound amazing. I'm especially surprised at the bass they pump out.

You're welcome, enjoy! Those are amazing speakers for their size and can be found for next to nothing.
I've been thinking about these, ( https://cosprings.craigslist.org/ele/d/51-surround-system/6605005157.html ), but I really don't need them. I have a set of 1Cs as my computer speakers and they're great!
Honestly I'm surprised they're still available... -

I like to buy 2.3 is better, when I had them in a big enough for room. They are probably, to date, still my favorite speakers. The three-point ones are certainly a lot more forgiving of room size.The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits. -Albert Einstein

I just noticed or realized the 3.1's have the closer MW spacing of the 2B's and 1C's. I have to agree the closer MW spacing does better in a smaller, narrower space. I really need to get my 2.3's into a wider room to experience them better.

In "my" room, the modded 3.1TL's beat out all the other SDA competition, including modded 1C's, modded SRS 2's and modded 2.3TL's.
The single tweeter in the 3.1's has pin-point imaging compared to the multiple tweeter design (at least to my ears). Plus, the 3.1's are very easy to drive, I'm powering them with a pair of 25 wpc tube mono blocks. -

Bought a pair of 7c's from this seller last year. Nice person with an outstanding Polk / Sunfire collection of equipment. Found & bought a pair of SDA 2a's last winter from CL but had to travel 400+ miles to get them. These are local. Do I need them? No. Do I want them? Yes. How will they compare with my unrestored 2a's? What's a fair offering price? Any input is appreciated.
