New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

Just wanted to update my prior thread where this topic may have gotten lost.  As many of you may know by now, Joseph Audio has come out with the new Pulsar Graphene 2. This new iteration of the venerable Pulsars has a graphene coated magnesium midrange-woofer cone, and the drive motor, suspension system, etc., have been revamped. From what I have been told, the upgrade is pretty significant ... the sound is fuller and has greater ease, yet is very resolved. Jeff Joseph advises that an upgrade path will be available for existing owners of the Pulsars, too. Also, note that the price quoted in the Soundstage piece was in Canadian dollars ... Jeff informs me that the price in USD is $8,999 per pair. I am eager to hear the new Pulsars.

Thanks for the info astewart!

Ugh.   On one hand I was hoping Jeff would do an upgrade on the Perspectives as I've been angling to own a pair of Perspectives.  Was about to buy a pair in the summer when tragedy hit.

Now that he's updated them, before I could buy a pair of the original, I may not ever be able to afford the new higher price.  Sigh....

Sit tight, Prof!! You'll see many people upgrading and selling their used one's here on A'gon.


Just keep looking and I'm sure Santa will come for you.

Best,

FYI, I believe that Jeff will be offering an upgrade path for owners of the Perspectives. He told me already that he will be doing that for current owners of Pulsars. So, I don't think that many folks will be trading in their JA's any time soon.

@rlb61 is correct. Jeff told me today that Perspective owners will be offered an upgrade path. He just doesn't have the pricing nailed down yet.

I just read this announcement about the Perspective on Joseph Audio Facebook:
April 12, 2019
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - WORLD PREMIERE - Perspective2 Graphene! Suite 1521 at the Axpona show.
Building on the original Perspective design, the New Perspective2 now includes Graphene coated Magnesium woofers that have been completely re-engineered using Finite Element Analysis.

What has me a little puzzled is that it only mentions a coating/re-engineering of the woofers.  Whereas the Pulsars upgrade supposedly goes beyond replacing woofers to re-engineered motors etc.I would have thought that if the Perspective upgrade went beyond just a new coating on the woofers that it would be mentioned as well.
