Joseph Audio Pearls?

The two times I heard them at shows they always sounded very good. Good speaker for sure, but also good set-up and ancillary equipment.

I went back to Joseph Audio's room at Axpona several times to listen to the Pearls. They were a very well balanced speaker but (naturally for a monitor) lacked gravitas in the lower registers. Supplemented with a good subwoofer, I could live with them if the room they were in wasn't too large. Their Perspective floor standing speakers would be my personal choice.

I believe that you are thinking of the Pulsar. The Pearl 3's are the big floorstanders from Joseph.

The Pearls have always shown well at shows, for the last 10-15 years. They should definitely be on anyone's short list (who can afford them).
