Regarding Joseph Audio Pulsar Loudspeakers


I am building a new 2 channel rig and I have all my components except for a pair of loudspeakers.  I want to concentrate on stand mounted speakers and the Pulsar's seem intriguing.  Anyone have experience with these or others that may be great contenders for under $10K? 
Primarily analogue listening. My mono blocks will drive any load.
Thanks

As noted above, the Pulsars are fantastic speakers (I've sold quite a few pairs of them), and they work extremely will with both solid state and tube amplification (not sure what the op is using?).

The KEF Ref 1's mentioned are also another great choice in this same approx. price range.
Well gentlemen, I believe that I have narrowed this down to:
1) J.A. Pulsar
2) W-B Vertex
Will attempt to audition both in my home with my electronics and source material.
Any strong feelings regarding speaker cables???
Many thanks and additional comments welcomed.
