I am planning on buying a pair of Anthems this season and was wondering what size i should get. I am 5'7" and bout 120 pounds. I was thinking either 171 or 178, which size would be better?

I'll second the 178. If you're unsure, always go with the longer one.

Since they're centermounted, and you're gonna grow I'd get the 178's.
