Joseph Audio dealer in the northeast?

Northman - if you sent an inquiry via Joseph website, check your Spam/Junk folder for the reply. Happened to me....

clearthink: it is a bit odd, and you'd think that the dealers wouldn't be too happy about it. Maybe it's part of their mystique? There is a thread, similar to this one, looking for dealers in the West, noting the oddness and difficulty of communication.

pinotphile: I wrote twice and I did check my junk folder; nothing.  It doesn't really bother me. They can run their business any way they want. I've read that Jeff Joseph is a good guy and is responsive to customers, but it does seem esoteric to the point of invisibility!

just curious, are you looking for something new, or to service something old?

JSE?

In pursuit of a place I might audition the Pulsars I had sent a note to JA via their 'contact us' on their website. Been a bit ago, but believe I received a response within 48 hours from a someone addressing themselves as Mehran of SORAsound, which is apparently a sales rep for Joseph Audio.

He let me know that there was a shop in Chicago that carries the JA line, but also passed along that he was aware that Taylor of Goldprint in N.C. was in the process taking in a pair of Pulsars from a customer that was upgrading to the newer Pulsars. As a well cared for used pair of Pulsars was actually what I would have wanted anyway ($), I promptly contacted Taylor and discussed opportunities. The used (appear to be brand new!) Pulsars are now singing away in my living room. Even used they were not gotten what I would call 'cheaply', but were considerably less than those 'not used'. Generally not one to pop this kind of $ sound unheard, but very happy for have taken this risk. They do sound very nice. And Taylor of Goldprint was a pleasure to work with.

Try mehran@sorasound.com and see if this gets you anywhere.

Todd: good man--thank you very much. I'll try that email. Your experience is ideal to me. I am not going to spend $10k on a new pair of speakers; that's not principle, that's reality. I hope to have a chance to listen at the Montreal audio show, though I'm not sure if that's the best place to audition speakers--and those will undoubtedly be the new Pulsars.  

I've heard such tempting things about the Pulsars but I'm probably drawn to them in part because ... I can't find them.
