Even IF I had 3.1tl's I'd be all over this set of 2.3tl's....
Well, I would be all over them but there are a few things that would hold me back.
I don't really have the room for them.
Cost to upgrade them would be more (more tweeters, caps, ect).
Spending more money when I just went in for a dreadnaught.
Respect for the Mrs. who has already been pretty good with this hobby of mine and all the stereo stuff I have purchased.
Other updates to the home my wife wants to have done in the house that I see are a higher priority for her (and the kiddos).
I'm already extremely happy with the 3.1s (and a set of 2Bs)
Anything bigger would probably be too much in my room.
If I didn't have any SDAs and was looking, then I probably would be all over these. Guess my level of hoarding isn't the same as some others here.

That was what I did a few years back. I had some 3.1tl's which I was perfectly happy with when some 2.3tl's became available. As nice as the 3.1tl's are, the 2.3tl"s were a BIG step up, IMHO. I sold the 3.1's which helped fund the upgrade journey. I have never once second guessed the decision to move up the SDA line.
Betwixt you, me and one or 2 other members, that could be a real possibility. Personally, I'm only missing literally a handful of models to have a complete early model lineup (4, 4.5, ported 5jr, 12, RTA 15TL). Missing a few more of the SDAs.

You guys have issues. How did you guys get so deep into speakers?
I have two pairs and it kinda bothers me.
@krazypolk I understand. You actually may have control over the ‘addiction’. I unfortunately don’t. Have 4 pairs of Klipsch, pair of Marantz, Zu omen DW’s, 3 pairs of Polks and on the hunt for more SDA’s and possibly a new wife if she finds out I’m still searching !! Don’t want to part with any of them.

They look like they need a good cleaning, but good overall.

Someone here??
I'm on a roll, lol.
Obviously there's no affiliation with any I post here.
Sure you're not having a garage sale?

I don't think any of us have stepped on/over speakers to get anywhere.
YET.

“If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
But I still have enough Polk Audio speakers for a carnival side show!
You guys have issues. How did you guys get so deep into speakers?
I have two pairs and it kinda bothers me.
I've never owned the 12s but like I said a month ago, I had a chance but no spare money to really buy them.
I own a 4 now or a 4.5. That little pair sounds great to me!
I've owned the 5jr.. I own the 5 now.
I had 2 pairs of 7s I believe but sold them like an idiot.

Only 2 pairs? With a handle like @krazypolk I’d of expected more.
Yes, that's all I have right now. Typically if I buy a new pair I'll sell a pair to keep the clutter at a minimum.
All in all I've probably had about a dozen pairs of polks.
