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.

BTW, @audiotroy, you criticize everything you do not sell. Everyone here views you as a troll
+10.
 I listen to the Persona at AXPONA, so bright and coarse (just like they measure, imagine that). Couldn’t stay in the room for more then 30 sec.

Like I said, your descriptions are fictional at best. No correlation to how these speakers actually sound, only to how YOU hear them.


Thanks for one of the more hilarious posts of recent memory.

Of course that’s how the speakers SOUNDED to me.


But if you want to say that my hearing is so eccentric or my acuity regarding sound is so poor as to produce useless or inaccurate descriptions of how those speakers sounded in the auditions, there’s more evidence in that thread against your claim, than you have for it.The majority of people who commented praised the accuracy of my descriptions based on comparing it to their own experience.

My job involves recording and manipulating sound all day long, constantly listening for similarities literally between the "air" of a room, the timbre of one vocalisation vs another, and minutely adjusting sonic parameters constantly to produce large or minute differences, or make two disparate noises sound the same. If my perception of sound were as unreliable as you imply, I literally could not have worked in my field for 30 years.

But, hey, from your computer chair....someone has pronounced a less than happy opinion upon hearing a Magico speaker, the Bat Signal went up....time to swoosh in and diss that person.

It’s a tired act, science"cop."

Sciencecop reminds me of someone else that was posting up until recently-someone who had relatively few posts and had never started a discussion but instead would just pop in and write extremely offensive put-downs that defied common sense. I suspect they are one and the same person. 
"No correlation to how these speakers actually sound". That is rich. Following your [lack of] logic, how does anyone know how they actually sound? "Fictional at best" is making the most hyperbolic statement one could possibly make squared. Utter pablum not worthy of further response. 
Sciencecop first many people commented favorably on the Personas which were being driven by a $4k integrated amp vs a huge stack of much more expensive Rowland gear on the Perspectives willing to beat the gear alone cost $50k driving a $14k speaker not a realistic package now is it?

The 3F sounded really impressive considering the price of  $14k for botb the speakers and electronics.  We could have gotten better sound with warmer cables AQ does not a good match make with these components. 

Lets see Troll eh?

We mentioned many rooms which sounded excellent with products we dont  seIl including Wilson audio, Alta, Avante Garde, Golden Ear, Focal to name a few. 

So kind of looks like we call em like we hear em.

Yes, troll who tries to divert from the OP’s topic to discuss products he sells. Look at the Audio Doctor’s other posts.

If a tree falls in the forest and @prof hears it, is the sound fictional at best?
