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.

Nice to see this thread back on track. I bought a pair of used Perspectives and sent them to JA for the upgrade which he assured me would make them indistinguishable in sonics from the new version 2. I have been reading about these speakers on various threads for about a year as well as professional reviews and it seems they got great accolades from all over. 

@nyaudio98  something is only to expensive if no one is willing to pay the price that doesn't seem to be the case here.

@djones51 ... is Jeff doing the upgrades already? What was the price for upgrading your Perspectives?

Yes, he said to send them , for the Perspectives it's $3500.

With shipping costs that would be roughly 50% of the cost of a new pair. Maybe it would make sense to sell yours and buy new again? Just food for thought.
