    Saw those. Nice looking TL model. Go audition them that way you can check details. If you play your cards right you may be able to get them for $500. Don't know how these sound compared to 1.2 or 2.3's but should be quite good.

    Didn't want to step on anybody's toes (@kmeek). The guy isn't budging yet on the price. @codycatalist offered to take a look at them for me. They're 3600 miles away from me so Iogistics are a bit..!

    I have a set of 3.1's. From what I understand they are much rarer of SDA speakers of the SDA line. That being said if I were to put mine out three I'd ask $850 and be firm on my price. But I have a full set of larry's rings to install and I replaced the tweeters too. Then again SDA's don't come up that often here in South Carolina.

    I'm pretty sure they come up for sale here even less often then in South Carolina. Having said that now, there is actually a pair of SDA 2A/B's( the owner really doesn't know which they are and I haven't seen them yet) on CL but they're still 400 miles away. I'm stalking those 3.1TL's in Phoenix at the moment and they're 3600 miles away. The 3.1TL's have me excited, if I can get the shipping logistics worked out then with upgrades I think they'd be worth the money and efforts.

    Just looking at that single tweeter and where it is, you cannot expect this speaker to do everything well...and that single dimensional driver. I liked the mw-03 array but not the most versatile speaker say for rock. Has anyone actually heard sda affect on these things? So we got a bit better than 1C's but barely deserve the SRS designation if at all. Anyone believe this crap?

    Let me get this straight: We're ranting in indignation over the design choices, or perhaps the model-naming choices, of a speaker that hasn't been produced in 27 years?

    ...gonna see if I can stoke up the proper levels of anger on this one, but I'll join you if I manage to get properly pissed.

    So you are trying to compare the transitional speakers from non SRS to SRS and I can tell you from personal experience, because I was fortunate enough to audition all the SDA's in the same room with the same equipment (albeit 30 years ago) that there is a difference as you step up the line. It may not be very noticeable from say the 1C to the SRS2 or 3.1 but it is there. I believe the 3.1 is rare because it came out at the end of the SDA era when demand was going to narrow towers.
