JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2

…hope they’re not African bees

Must have meant Harbeeths :)

@grislybutter 

Yes interesting I had not considered that option. Definitely a more natural sound. Generally speaking I am used to ur responses being a little more on point. 

Bee farms have a very natural sound

I am not particularly fond of the bee sound

Is it true the Revival lacks resolution? 

@grislybutter 

interesting idea but I will pass. Any speaker advice?

@tjraubacher unfortunately I have no experience with these speakers but I would look at

@grislybutter 
I am going to pass on the bee farm. Way to much buzzing noise in the background.

on the subject, from what I read here, for your room size and amp

JA Pulsars

But only your ears can tell

You should get some floorstanding speakers if MORE bass is one of the goals. 2 subwoofers with the speakers you own might also solve what you think you are missing.

I finally bought the C7 Harbeth and really enjoy the sound and dimensionality with the Naim Supernait 3. I got burned out with chasing presence and hearing brightness, etc. The Harbeth is somehow very present without brightness. These are keepers. For a while anyway. 

@bjesien  you've had a lot of good speakers.  Are the Harbeth's now your primary speakers?   What version C7 did you buy?

I have purchased a used pair of JA Pulsars. Once they arrive ani I have a chance to listen to them I will provide my feedback on them. Very excited can’t wait.

Congrats!  I’m sure you’re gonna be thrilled and look forward to your thoughts.  If you don’t mind me asking, are they the original version, how much were they, and what finish did you get?

@soix 

yes original, rosewood and $3600

Nice! Great price!!!

@pdreher Yes I picked up a pair of C7esxp's and really enjoy them. Now my room did change and as a result I'm positioning these (moving them) when I really want to sit and listen. That said they're really enjoyable and there is real magic happening between these speakers. For a speaker that is so listenable, they have great transparency. A sub or two or three is needed but that's many speakers under $15-20k these days. 

Nice to hear from you its been many years. Best, Bryan

@Tjraubacher congrats, never heard Joseph but I'd buy them unheard, well done.

Day 1 with the JA Pulsars. Talk about disappear. It was like there were no speakers and the music just existed. A little warmer at the treble end then my B&Ws. Fantastic detail and very musical. I was just enjoying the music. 😀
