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.

"We could have gotten better sound with warmer cables (sic) AQ does not a good match make with these components."

There ya have it. That appears to be an admission that tone controls are required for those particular high priced components. Audio equipment is like a spouse or significant other ... you take them as you find them, and don’t try to change them.

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

Not if you can measure it ;)

A.T.  didnt even know the name of AVANTE GARDE in his initial post about AXPONA. Probably the first dealer I have run across that never heard of them. Then again...anybody that would set up shop in Jersey City which is the armpit of NJ obviously has questionable judgment and business sense. Has to come on Audiogon and do the used car salesman sales pitch because there isn't enough foot traffic. Would you risk getting mugged just to check out some speakers? Don't forget to wear your Kevlar. Make sure you don't miss future store openings in Camden, Trenton, Patterson and Perth Amboy

As for the 3F Persona's he is the only person from Axpona that says they sounded good. The most often used term I have read is "Shrill". Hardly a positive endorsement.

@audiotroy  A troll criticizes speakers he does not sell - the Pulsar2 and the Perspective2 - and then praises the Personas he does sell, an opinion with a strong financial bias. You are a troll seeking free advertising on this forum. 

Your suggestion that that you have made me unhappy contains a false assumption, that your financially biased opinion means anything to me. It does not. You do not have the ability to make me happy or unhappy, given my indifference.

BTW, everyone, I am not trying to sell you anything or suggest you should buy anything. I am suggesting, if you are in the market, you should listen to the Pulsar2 and the Perspective2. It is just a lead for your consideration from someone deeply satisfied with the Perspective2.
