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.

I’d say more like 1st Gen. LCD vs. last Gen. OLED. 
There’s a guy who auditioned them recently and said he wouldn’t buy them because the dealer won’t come down on the price. He must now have not liked them enough. Not liking the Perspective2 is like not liking Amish butter on top of freshly baked sourdough bread. Interesting.

Funny enough, I just came immediately from watching a youtube "foodporn" fine dining video with someone eating bread/butter just like that and I was salivating watching it!  (Can you imagine giving up carbs/bread, as some people do?)


Anyway, I'll likely upgrade my Perspectives to the Amish butter version...er...Graphene coating version....when I can :-)

Guys,

Read the seas white paper on the graphene mid woofer.  They make it pretty clear it is an oxidation retardant.

They also make it clear they have made significant improvements to the motor.
