The bass is tighter, cleaner and better defined. I doubt this will present a problem for you, but I have no personal experience in that size room. Our room is 18’ x 35’ with 10’ ceilings.
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.

From the Absolute Sound AXPONA repot on electronics: Best Demos Depends what you’re into...fully immersive, in-the-room presence, or the visceral impact of sonic thrills over transparency? MBL 101 Es or Børreson 05/Aavik Acoustics or the Synergistic Research/Magico/United Home Audio room. The Joseph Audio/Rowland/Cardas Audio room also deserves a nod for fine sound and analog purity. Only the reviewer covering under $20K speakers missed them. |
Stereophile from Munich Audio 2019 on the Perspective2: This was my first sound demonstration at High End 2019, and it was a doozy: The soundstage was super-enormous and super-transparent. The bass was invisible until it appeared, and then it was succinct and as big as it needed to be. Tone character was spot-on, and images were precisely drawn. https://www.stereophile.com/content/joseph-audio-speakers-alluxity-and-doshi-electronics-purist-cabl... |
Thanks Mark. Certainly a promising show report! Note that stereophile’s editor mentioned in the comments section that John Atkinson has a follow up review of the Perspective2 coming in the July issue. I’ll be VERY interested in that review as his earlier review of the Perspectives raised some eye-brows, seemingly a luke-warm review. As mentioned earlier in this thread Stereophile is also reviewing the Pulsar2s. |
