You know what I suddenly just wished? That sales of all audio equipment were tracked and published and we could see, in numbers, what everyone, everywhere, is really buying.
A tubed integrated amp for Joseph Audio Pulsars?
I'm running a modified Jolida 502B integrated of long use with my Pulsars. Thinking it's near time to try something new. I want to continue in the tube integrated realm and it's very hard to get a take-home amp to test. I'm interested in synergy and an amp with the ability to handle more demanding passages. I love a grand, full, tactile mid-range, but don't want to skirt elsewhere. A little tempo is important. Flabby bass unforgivable if it comes out of tight, little speakers like these. Extension? Soundstaging? Bring it!
I have a hard time understanding what kind of power I need for these Pulsars, knowing not all wattage is created equally. So I worry about attractive amps like Leben or Luxman or anything not over 50w, even though that worry might be unfounded. I want to make magic. So, what's a perfect fit? Who has been down this road with these speakers and has tales to tell and guidance to share? Under $10K, please.Oh, and it's got to be built to last for-evah.

beeswax "You know what I suddenly just wished? That sales of all audio equipment were tracked and published and we could see, in numbers, what everyone, everywhere, is really buying." Of what value, use, or utility would such a sales record, ranking, or tabulation provide would you actually select, choose, and purchase those that achieved a higher or lower ranking? |
I was intrested in buying the Pulsar 2 after having heard them at Axpona. It was the first time I heard any of his products. Long story short I purchased a new pair of the current production model. Jeff Joseph responded to an email I sent indicating that the upgrade of the current model to a Pulsar 2 wll cost 2300.00 plus round trip shipping. Worth considering depending on the price one paid for the current model. |
