Spica TC-60 Datasheet

The TC-60 was the only speaker launched under the combined Parasound / Spica label, The Spica TC-60 Sales flyer described the TC-60 as retaining the characteristics of its legendary TC-50, plus extended bass, more transparent highs and vastly improved dynamics. In order to create realistic stereo imaging, every single variable was carefully calculated for perfect time coherence. Proprietary software and measurement techniques allow us to offer results other manufacturers haven't been able to match. Spica technology seamlessly combines to create sonic images which lock-in between the speakers and extends far beyond them.

While both a 6 ohm and 8 ohm versions of the literature exist, this was only a change in the literature not in the design. Interesting side note, speaker builder VMPS manufactured the TC-60 cabinets for some period (Audio Asylum thread).
