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 understood mark to be saying he preferred the original pulsars over thethe old LSAs, not over the new pulsars.  I presumed he referencing the old Pulsars simply because he hasn't heard the new ones.

I read it differently. Perhaps Mark can provide clarification.

@prof is correct. I have not heard the new Pulsar2 Graphenes. Sorry for any confusion.

The BØRRESEN 01 is a great speaker. I think it is competitive with the Pulsar2 Graphene, more so than the LSA. You should decide for yourself.

Markalarsen the Borreson 01 is a $30k monitor comparing such divergent price points isnt a reletive comparison.

We heard the new Perspectives at Axpona and they were very good not blown away at $14k though.

They did produce a big sound for a compact speaker.
