Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars

WHOOPEE!!!!! Today, I parted finally with my beloved B&W N804s in favor of a pair of JA Pulsars in the Sapele Finish. Using temporarily a pair of Target stands until the Sound Anchors come in. I only have a couple of hours on these speakers, but they image like crazy and the sound is exquisite and non-fatiguing. They are much better suited to my 10x10x8 room than the B&Ws. Will post a more in-depth review after they’re broken in a bit more. This has been SOME St. Patty’s Day!

@djohnson54 ... unfortunately, the Stereophile measurements don’t give the -3dB rating. But, that's OK. I spoke to Jeff Joseph himself who told me that the Pulsars work great with the sub xover set to 80Hz. So, that's where I set the xover and it sounds fantastic.

Glad you found the information you were looking for.  FWIW, from the graph in figure 4 of the measurements section, you can see that the -3dB point would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 44-46 Hz.

@djohnson54  ... thanks for the approximation of the -3dB point. I'm not very good with those types of calulations.

very nicely done, congrats!  dont they look like a million as well as sound that way too?  beautiful speakers.
dealers have to he careful because the pulsars make everything else in their store sound like crap.i heard the othe ja speskers, the perspectives, the prisms and the profile.  none of themhave the magic of the pulsars and i downright did not care for the prisms or the profiles.  but the pulsars?  among the best ever made.

@avanti1960 ... thanks. The Pulsars are really a cut above the rest. Paired with my JL Audio e110 subwoofer, the sound is sublime. Everything sounds "right," and I now appreciate the superiority of a fabric dome tweeter over an aluminum dome one, like in the B&Ws. And, the looks are just amazing ... absolutely beautiful. I wish I would have bought the Pulsars years ago; however, better late than never.
