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.

No Markalarsen,

We never mentioned Paradigm or any other brand we sold other guys came in with that.

Our initial post was when someone compared the Boresteen moitors at $30k and compared them to the Pulsars to which we said that was a silly comparison as any $30k speaker should beat a $9k one or a $14k one unless the $30k speaker is poorly designed. The Boresteen are heinously overpriced but are very good speakers with outstanding drivers.

Our comment was we heard the Perspectives and said they sounded good and were impressive for their size just not the speakers we would endorse for $14k.

Then we got attacked by many of you.

Weather of not you love Joseph Audio or Pardigm or Kef of Wilson or Magico these are all great loudspeakers that will appeal to certain listeners and then is the setup and pairing issues.

Haven't been a Wilson fan for years but the showings at CAP and Axpona were impressive, and we don't sell them, however, we have heard some really mediocre Wilson setups over the years even with the same speakers, so setup is everything when you reach these kinds of products.

A $30k bookshelf will not produce significantly less distortion than a $1k bookshelf. Theres never been any evidence of this. Even cheap speakers like LS50 can have good measured performance. Exactly what more do you get with a $30k speaker other than differences in bass extension?
 @audiotroy You have said twice that the Perspective2 are not worth $15K, then mentioned the Personas ten times. Troll. 
Sorry Mark 

But no we didnt mention the Personas 10 times and we started the conservation talking about Borsteen speakers someone else mentioned the Personas.

If we were such trolls we would have started wlth the Personas.

Wrap your head around this analogy between $30k speakers and $1k ones.

A Porsche 911 uses a 6 cyl engine so does a Toyota Camery therefore they are the same correct?
