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.

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.

I recently heard the Perspective2s and they are probably the best speakers I have heard. Pretty much they sound like live performance:) Amazing. Never heard anything like that.

Also, Lars Kristensen like you mentioned, a person with an amazing music selection for demos. That guy probably can setup a $1000 system and make them sound like $10000 :) I was so impressed with the Borresen 01s last year at FL Audio Expo. He picked all the songs. Well, last week at the FL Expo this guy gave him his CDs and the recordings weren't good I guess because they sounded horrible. Regardless, there is NO WAY I am paying $37K for them when I can get the Perspective2s for $15K. Not even comparable.

Graphene coating on the Seas is to help prevent oxidation of the magnesium cone I don't think it improves the audio performance but the Seas graphene line also has a new driver. JA also tweaked the crossover.
