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.

It's looking more like I will have some Perspectives in my early future.Local dealers are selling off their demo models.  I have money left over from selling my Thiel 3.7 speakers and I just listed my MBL 121 monitors.  They literally sold in 5 minutes!

I hope to grab a pair of used Perspective (1s) within the next week, if things go as hoped.  Then the plan would be to upgrade them to the Graphene version when I can.

It really makes you double think your choices when you sell something that quickly!! :D

Heh, I just set up the MBLs because the buyer wants to listen before buying. I played some stuff and thought "what am I crazy? These are insane!" But...they just don’t end up getting as much play in my system as they deserve, and ultimately a pair of fuller range floor standing speakers will suit me better.

The Joseph speakers are something of a gamble too. I know what I really like about them, but also remember an issue or two, but as it sounds like the Graphene version addressed those issues it looks like I’ll roll the dice. I have back up speakers I love if they don’t work out :-)
