New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

Just wanted to update my prior thread where this topic may have gotten lost.  As many of you may know by now, Joseph Audio has come out with the new Pulsar Graphene 2. This new iteration of the venerable Pulsars has a graphene coated magnesium midrange-woofer cone, and the drive motor, suspension system, etc., have been revamped. From what I have been told, the upgrade is pretty significant ... the sound is fuller and has greater ease, yet is very resolved. Jeff Joseph advises that an upgrade path will be available for existing owners of the Pulsars, too. Also, note that the price quoted in the Soundstage piece was in Canadian dollars ... Jeff informs me that the price in USD is $8,999 per pair. I am eager to hear the new Pulsars.

Re-visiting this thread since I’ve been happily listening to my JA Perspectives for several weeks.

They continue to stun me with their clarity, resolution and tonal finesse.The upper frequencies are so extended and pure, when certain drum cymbals or tiny chimes/metal triangles etc are played, they have this amazing "pop in the room" presence and super realistic tone.

And wow, the bass quantity and quality!

The comments that intrigue me most about the new Graphene version are that it’s actually more resolution. That’s almost hard to conceive of given how much the original Perspectives seem to be putting out in my room.

I went to CAF and RMAF this year. Both me and my girlfriend (she has better ears than many audiophiles I know including me), thought Joseph Audio Pearl was the best sounding room in RMAF and the Perspective 2 was top 3 in CAF.

I was so damn impressed that I ordered a new pair of Perspective 2 on the spot. I'll get them this weekend. I need some amp recommendation.

Last year I bought Pearl's off this gentleman in Maryland. He switched to Devore's (The X or one of the Nines) because to him they had greater resolution/detail than the Pearl's. His musical "catalog" was vastly different than mine...mostly Female vocals and lighter stuff. To his ears it wasnt even close as to which speaker put the artist in his listening room.
