I haven't put the Perspectives back in to my system again, but my impression upon unboxing was once again: man what beautiful speakers. They just look so high end and high class. I think the graphene drivers are a little darker too. (Which I would like. I'm not a fan of seeing most speaker drivers, but the Joseph's are something of an exception. I find the SEAS drivers with the copper phase plug, and the way it ties in with the copper surround on the Joseph tweeter, to look really nice. Still, I dim the lights when listening and prefer the drivers to disappear from view when listening.
