New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
I think having an iconoclastic point of view really helps. At the genuine high end of speakers, I honestly think half the listeners can't hear a damn thing. I'm not at all knocking the Pulsars, they're middle ground, high value in my mind. I'm just saying, being your own taste master can help you save a lot of money. :) |
I think new woofers with slightly different properties pretty much mandate fiddling with the crossovers. I note that Jason S of Stereophile wrote in his brief impressions of the Perspectives 2 at Axopona, that he found a familiar track sounded "far more mellow and toned down than on my system."

I would expect, based on the specs at Seas, that the Pulsar two would demand a new crossover, and may loose 1-2 dB of sensitivity. However, that doesn't necessarily change the tonal balance, that's something the designer could keep more or less consistent. Shame I haven't heard these speakers in a very long time, but they were some of the few at shows I liked, and seem to remember liking them more than the plasma tweeter speakers too. |
