Spica's TC 50 vs. Sound Dynamic RT 3's


I would appreciate suggestions regarding these two speakers. I need something for the office and have narrowed the search to these. Also would appreciate any comments concerning speaker stands and height suggestions for the RT 3's. I'm use to my main system of Quad ESL/Kinergetic subs.
I've read many things about both Spica and Sound Dynamics but haven't met anyone who has any experience with either. Office is the size of medium size bedroom. Anyone out there?
Thanks!

Madisound has the # and the cureent replacement tweeter, any good tech should be able to solve any crossover problems as long as one of them is still good.
IF you are used to the Quads, gotta go with the Spica's. Rt 3's are good, but the midrange on the Spica's just sneaks up on you letting you know how good it is. I would have to say the RT 3 has better low end, and actually more extended on top, but in the midrange and depth dept, and now that I think about and read a little more(I keep notes on everything I have ever listened to at home)in the focalazation and placement, Spica has it and really a lot of other speakers in the same price range. was one of those speakers that got it amazing right at the time.
Caveat though, Original drivers no longer made for the Spica, and the woofers had very tight tolerence's in the voice coil, so if you buy a pair used, make sure they are extremely well packed. Company in PA will rebuild the woofer cheap($40) but they are so busy it takes over 6 weeks to get them back.
I am going to respectfully disagree with a couple of posters on the power dept.. They are not the most efficient speakers in the world, but also don't get the idea that they will play loud if they have plenty of juice. If its in your office, I doubt that it is much of a concern.Just treat them like you would your Quads and it will be fine. I thought they sounding great on Audio Research/Dynaco Stereo 70.
