Rango, i seem to remember they were a tad over 3ft high. If you have never seen them, prepare yourself...just a little on the unconventional side. as far as sound I thought they were pretty much TC-50s with some bass. If the classical you listen to is orchestral vice smaller ensembles, you might not find them to your liking. overall, I liked them, but I understand Spica is out of business....I went down that road with my JSEs...pain in the butt.
