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.

I have the upgraded Perspectives and they leave me pretty twinkly as well. I know the crossovers were either replaced or modified in some way and Jeff said they would be indistinguishable in sonics from the new ones. I am not good with the hyperbole but these speakers are amazing and I only have them paired with a little Mac MA 252 integrated. Lyrics and acoustic  instruments  are  what impress me the most with these speakers. 
That's kind of a shame, as you'd hope an upgrade would sound better somehow. :)


Since they  are upgraded  to  the  standard  of the new version why would  they  sound better  than the new version?
