New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
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. |
There are so many hyperbolic statements on this site that accurate praise is lost in the hyped marketing. Anyway, here goes. This is is the best speaker I have owned and one of the best I have heard. It is a destination speaker. Compared to my original Perspectives, it has more and better defined bass. Kick drum sound realistic. It is simultaneously richer with better definition. Silky smooth midrange. Lyrics are clear, smooth and accurate. Same tweeter and cabinet. Slightly more efficient. Excellent off-axis response anywhere in the room. They throw a wide sound stage, almost wall-to-wall, in part because they are locked into the room. |
