Spica TC-50's vs 60's. Differences + Maintanence.



Does anyone have knowledge of the difference between these two models in sonics, tonal balance, bass extensiong, imaging, power requirements/handling, etc.? Also, where does one go for maintanence (e.g. repair/replace drivers, etc). Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

The TC-50s are better and more balanced than the TC-60s. The 50s sound smoother, have superior imaging and soundstaging, with just the right amount of speed, detail and air. Also, the sealed enclosure makes integration with a sub better. I've been through over a dozen speakers in the last decade, but I still have the 50s.

The 60s, while a decent speaker, sound more like mid-fi. I think Mr. Bau lost the "Spica" magic when he tried to get too much bass out of them. However, he may have succeeded in creating a speaker with wider mainstream appeal- closer to boom sizzle than high end. (And they do not come close to going down into the low 30Hz range, as mentioned in one of the above posts.)
