To my ears, Joseph Audio speakers do everything better than a comparable B&W model while sounding more musical and just bringing more life and believability to sound. That’s what I heard comparing the original Pulsars to the 804 D3 last year and in other direct comparisons in the past, so I’d think there’d be a similar differential between the Perspective 2 and the 803 D3. If you’re looking for even more, go hear the Pearl 3s but don’t blame me if you hate your 803s afterward. I’d venture I could say similar things for Vandy, ProAc, and Usher among others, but I’ve not done direct comparisons with those. Again, that’s just my ears and FWIW.
