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.

^^^ what is it about Joseph speakers that attract these type of sophomoric "X speaker will whip-its-butt!" posts?

Lol. '40-year sophomore' vs. arrogant Jeff-Joseph-types may be a clue for you.

(P.S. You clearly have not experienced KEF's current (brilliant) Reference series)

Thought I'd stop by before heading to another thread to bash the KEF Ref 1s.  I've never heard them, but what the hell -- it didn't stop @allhifi from posting here.

@allhifi

I have experienced the Kef blades, and the Kef LS50, both of which sounded very nice, though I prefer the Joseph sound.

Both the Joseph and the Kefs are world class speakers and it comes down to taste. If you prefer the Kefs, good for you. It’s too bad you have to be so goofy about it.

Lol.

A few years back, I contacted Joey Audio to inquire about  basic build quality/construction details of a particular model. Specifically driver-to-baffle attachment method (bolted or wood-screwed) and baffle material -wood, metal, composite whatever. 
In no time flat did I receive an accusatory response suggesting I was looking for information regarding a DIY build -for myself !!!!???  
It didn't take long at all for me to lay-into this a-hole to set the record straight.
I couldn't believe this idiots disposition, remarks and frankly, insults.
The guy I was speaking to ? Why it was Joseph himself (Joker).

I reminded him it was of interest to me (as a consumer) to know some basic loudspeaker construction details concerning a $10K loudspeaker investment before I promptly ended communication.

Sooo, you want to talk "goofy" ? There's your goofy.

(P.S> Kef Blades and/or LS50 are the shitty KEF's (with plastic enclosures). The KEF Reference are considerably better)
