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.

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.
The upgrade cost for the Pulsars is $2300. New driver and crossover. They must be shipped to the factory. 
That would bring the total cost to $10K (i.e., $7,700 list plus $2,300 for the upgrade). Yikes! It's likely cheaper to buy a brand new pair and sell the existing ones.
