Based on what? I've owned both...There's definitely NOT a clear winner in terms of design or build quality!

It is clear to me after this statement you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. Some of the best speakers in the world employ simple high-pass filters.

The M3 is maximized for profit not sound quality.
Have you even looked at the response curves for these speakers?
As I said before, the grainy harshness or brightness in the Mini Monitors is anything but smooth...tolerable, but not smooth. Quite honestly, the midrange in the M3Ti is comparable to the Mini Monitor, if not better, though is dependant on off-axis listening IMO.
