why doesn't everyone own a pair of spica's???

I have owned tc-60's for 20 yrs had other systems focal 836, focal 826w, theil 1.2's, vienna acoustics mozart grand. Have heard for many hours each about a hundred others or more(by being associated with some dealers a while ago). I feel if you want everything to start in the midrange to be natural and not threadbare or ill defined but refined naturally, it is a speaker you will probably never tired of. Drawbacks are will not go extremely loud, however it will go more than sufficiently loud though for everything I listen to. And I don't listen to mine quietly. Also the don't go real low may? drop off in output at 60hrz??, but double bass comes out extremely well and in balance with the rest of the tonal curve. And it is a soft dome, no harshness here yet it is very refined and revealing. What it does in the midrange out I don't know of another speaker that does it as well. There is no fireworks with this speaker it is all about the musical refinements. But it is probably not exiting enough for some people.

I still have my original TC50s in my bedroom system, and only recently found a speaker that outperforms them in every way - Ascendo System Zs. I had some other speakers that were good, and outperformed them in terms of dynamic scale, frequency extension at both ends, other audiophile "stuff", but after teh thrill wore off, I was always frustrated by the fact that music just sounded more natural through the Spicas. I am using them with a home made sealed box sub. Before I had the sub, I had teh speakers sitting on the floor against the wall, which improved bass response, and did less harm to high frequency and sound staging than you would think.

"I used to be a dealer for them and I am not sure a more musical line of speakers has ever matched them in "bang for the buck". I think I still have some of both of them NIB."

You felt the need to revive a 7 yr. old thread why exactly?
