    Question Did Polk make a "Studio" version 3.1TL ?

    Finally heard back from the seller, and got some pics.
    He doesn't have the SDA IC .
    They are all black, including the top caps.

    Hi Luc,
    I'm quite sure they did. I've seen more than one picture of a "stripped" 3.1TL before. I've never seen a Studio version of either of the larger TL speakers though.
    1. JM Labs Electra 920.1 and CC30; MB Quart Vera Sub; Pioneer Elite SC-57 Receiver; Squeezebox Touch; Toshiba HD-XA2 HD-DVD; Panasonic BDT-500 Blu-Ray; Samsung 52" A650 LCD; FIOS; PS Audio Power Plant Premier; MIT S3 cables
    2. Polk Audio SDA-SRS 2.3TL; Parasound Halo JC-2 Preamp; Parasound Halo A21 amp; Marantz SA8004; PS Audio GCPH; Squeezebox Touch; Music Hall MMF7 and The Clamp; PS Audio P1000; MIT S2 cables

    Just to confirm Emlyn's post, yes the 3.1TL came in a all black studio version. Of course, the price would be lower for that version, more like $500.00 to $600.00 depending on condition.

    Default Thanks J-man!

    I'm going to wait and see how the auction goes. Looks like "Joels" from the forum is on it as well.

    Default 3.1tl's

    Just an FYI... The studio version end caps and side strips are solid pieces of oak, not vinyl or anything and easily restorable. I was able to sand down the tops of mine to bare wood to remove some slight gouges before repainting. With some time and effort, these could be stripped and refinished to any desired stain color.
