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.

There was some discussion about the graphene coating and IIRC seas also emphasized it's use for preventing, I think, Oxydization especially in certain climates.  So I think there is truth to what gadios wrote.
However, the new Graphene Seas drivers were more than the coating - other aspects of the driver were re-designed, which is one reason the crossovers had to be re-designed/tweaked for their use. 

All together, with the sight changes in the drivers and Jeff Joseph tweaking the crossovers, it makes sense the new Joseph Graphene speakers would have evolved their sound somewhat.
My local JA dealer finally got the graphene Perspectives in so I'll probably hear them this week or next week.
@prof I have heard the Perspective2s and could not believe how close they sounded to a live music. It was insane. 

My original-version Perspectives certainly sound amazing!
As do my Thiel 2.7s.  I switch between them.  Love the Thiels though when I listen to them I can miss the juicy, reach-out punchy quality of thePerspectives bass.
@prof I am very curious how you will like the new Perspective2s. Hope you can find the time to write at least few words here.
