  In a multi-channel $S$-matrix approach, data on
$\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\bar{K},\eta\eta$ in the $I^GJ^{PC}=0^+2^{++}$ sector and
$\pi\pi$ scattering in the $1^+3^{--}$ sector are analyzed to study the $f_2$-
and $\rho_3$-mesons, respectively. Spectroscopic implications and possible
classification of the $f_2$-states in terms of the SU(3) multiplets are also
discussed.
