@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.
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.

I just read this announcement about the Perspective on Joseph Audio Facebook: April 12, 2019 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. ? |
markalarsen, Yes I know. I just find it odd that IF the updates for the Perspectives go well beyond merely a new coating on the drivers, that that information isn't included in the announcement of the new Pulsar 2. I mean, audiophiles always want as much as they can get for their money in upgrades, which is why audio companies are typically at pains to depict upgrades with as much significance as possible. So "new woofers with entire new motor system" would sound much more exciting and appealing than just "woofers with a new coating." Which is why I"d expect such details to be part of an upgrade announcement. |
Bunch of info here on what I presume to be the same or similar new SEAS graphene drivers: https://www.audioxpress.com/news/seas-announces-new-excel-graphene-woofer-series |
