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.

Why would ANYONE buy a pair of monitor speakers at this price range rather than a full range speaker costing the same amount?

@larry5729 -- because "more" isn't always "better."  Go hear the Pulsars before you assess their value based on size alone.  Plus, the Pulsars produce prodigious bass for their size such that they get pretty close to many floorstanders.  Again, go listen before you judge. 

@audiotroy -- don't waste your time with Kenjit.  His reasoning and logic are extremely flawed and distorted as per prior threads, and his head is like a brick wall so no chance of getting through.  Don't encourage him by trying to debate him -- it's fruitless and it just derails this thread for no reason.

Yes riaa 70k vs 300k population we got a lot more going on here.
 
Please extoll the virtues of route 9 and route 18 there is nothing in old bridge.

Also lets look at property values over the last 20 years of the two regions.

Thanks Soix good points.

Marklarsen we didnt start this our initial post never mentioned any of our brands it was others that caused this derailment.

For the record we have nothing against Joseph Audio we like their speakers just not enough to want to carry them and we like our existing product lines.

You keep bringing up property value....whats up with that? The closer you are to ANY major "market" city the property values go up. I have friends in North Jersey who live in 1250 Square Foot homes that are 70-80 years old that go for 400K. I wouldnt live in those shacks for Half that amount. Whats your point?? House Value and Population size = Quality of Life??? LOL

Havent lived in Old Bridge for 25 years But it was a wonderful SUBURB to grow up in. Guess you think East Brunswick, Woodbridge, Marlboro, Freehold are all "in the sticks". Too Funny. By your metrics EVERYTHING south of Jersey City is "the Sticks" except for Trenton I guess.

As for Route 9 + 18. No virtues....Don't know many 3 and 4 Lane Highways to be "in the sticks".
