This is correct. Look at the M12... Same design 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.

Amazing speakers for sure.

Enjoy listening to your music/music collection all over again.

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. -
