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.

@markalarsen ... very glad to learn that you are satisfied with the new Perspectives. I am really curious to hear the new Pulsars to see whether there is a "need" to upgrade my originals or whether the point of diminishing returns has been reached. Enjoy your new Perspectives!

On Easter, I was at my father-in-law’s house helping him set them his Pulsars. Once locked into the room, they sound great. I, however, would recommend the upgrade. On the other hand, he is waiting, but is careful and slow on this type of decision.

Joseph audio too expensive

"Too expensive" is a relative term. I listened to A LOT of different speakers before I bought the Pulsars. The Pulsars and the rest of the JA line sounded the way I like to hear music. As a musician, I know how instruments should sound, and the Pulsars convey a realism that I have found lacking in other speaker brands. The Pulsars ain’t cheap, but cheaper speakers that were hawked as being "really good for the money" just didn’t do it for me.

@nyaudio98 -- hey, I thought I told you to go away.  You're useless here and not at all credible.  Shoo.  Go play with your little LSA friends.
