New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

I have found that the expensive speakers are, at times, a little too honest and revealing of what you are feeding them... including the quality and mastering of the recording/source.  So if your media isnt top notch the expense is wasted and actually detracts from the overall enjoyment and perception.

So yes, less expensive speakers can “sound” considerably better than their more expensive counterparts.

Anyone who cant agree with that is fooling themselves and doesnt understand as much, or has experienced as much, as they think they do.

Has anyone compared the prospective 2 and the pearl 20.20 with an audition?   I heard the former at CAF and fell in love.   They might be the only speaker that can pry my Thiel 3.6 and cs6 out of my system.

i have a large room and although the prospectives blew me away they were in a very small room.  Wondering what the step up factor would be with the Pearls.

@pops I've heard both but in a different room, different systems, different times. Not very meaningful impression. But, Pearl 20.20 being driven my top of the line Doshi and reel-to-reel SOTA front end sounded better than Perspective 2. The later was being driven by much more modest system. But the difference was less than you'd expect.

Jim Smith (author of Get Better Sound), recently sold off his mega buck Tannoy system and replaced it with the Perspective 2s. You can see his room here: https://www.audioshark.org/audioshark-members-systems-101/my-roomplay-reference-sound-room-18528.html.

The room looks really big. I don't think Perspectives will have any problem filling a large space. It comes with a foam liner in the port that you can remove to extend bass frequency and impact. I think in a medium room Perspective 2 would have an advantage over Pearl and may actually sound little better.

@riaa. Toe to toe LOL.  you win virtually.  

Have you ever tried otherwhatsapp?

I some how missed this post from a few months ago, but I've been a fan of Joseph speakers for years, and a dealer now for a little over 10 years.  I have both the Pearl 20/20 and Perspective2s setup for demo (as well as Pulsar2s).  

The Perspectives are flat out awesome speakers in my opinion, and would be perfect for large majority of systems out there.  With that said, there is no doubt that the Pearls offer a much fuller sound with quite a bit more low end response and detail.  

In the end, both are fantastic speakers.  I would suggest listening to both and see which you prefer!
