New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening"

I’ve had my new JA Pulsars for about a month now, and something really strange has happened ... I’m actually interested in "listening" to the music. With my old B&Ws, I’d put on the system and read or surf the internet; being "involved" with the music typically was not something I had experienced. Now, reading a magazine or surfing the ’net is virtually impossible. It's almost as if I'm compelled to pay attention. I never knew I could be so engaged by my system. Other than greater detail, what am I hearing now that I hadn’t heard before? Has anyone had a similar experience?

Yes I know my Silverline Bolero Supremes and Lawrence Double Bass are both Obsolete now,the Irony is that every other Tekton speaker before is also Obsolete as well.

Just more over the top marketing,Ulfberht is some Viking term as far as I know.

If given the chance I would like to hear them,but I doubt seriously I would buy them based on appearance alone.I say this after owning their double impact speaker for 10 months.

I will just have to get by with what I have for now,
Kenny.

To me, Joseph Audio always has one of the best sounds at the shows, and Axpona was no exception.  He gets that extremely lifelike "hear the vocals chords vibrating" insight that I normally only hear on very good, super-efficient speakers driven by low power SET amps.  But you need good, ample power to drive JA.  He had an enormous Rowland with a Doshi pre at Axpona. I'm just too cheap to pay the entrance fee, but if voice is a priority, few if any do it better.

Great to hear. But how long did you put up with B & W Speakers?  No surprises as B & W Speakers are the most "uninvolving" Speakers I've had the misfortune to hear.

@initforthemusic ... I had the B&Ws for several years, but really didn't pay attention to their uninvolving nature until I heard the JAs. After that, it was a no brainer.
