Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Perspective

@ebm Thanks. I don't remember which model it was. It may have been the A3s. I heard them at FL Audio Expo last Feb. They didn't do it for me. The speakers that impressed me the most at that show were the Perspective2s.

@ebm I wanted to be more specific so I looked it up. It was the M6s that I heard. A3s may be better (more expensive isn't always better) so I don't want to say the A3s are bad.

It is your money and your ears only you can make the final verdict.The Josephs audio speaker a great as well and TADs.Whatever you get ENJOY!!

I auditioned the Magico A3s (in a very nice set up) but preferred the Joseph Perspectives.   For me the Magicos were impressive for the price, but were another "really detailed high end speaker," where the Joseph speakers did all that but with a particular magical smoothness and lack of grain that was just more addictive to listen to.  And tonally the Josephs seemed more "right" to me with all sorts of instruments.

I can understand anyone liking the Magicos, though.

I have to agree. When a speaker does everything the most neutral way like a machine, the soul of the music is lost for me. This character makes them sound too hifi which I personally don’t like, some people do.

I have Harbeth speakers for a reason. I have LS3/5As for a reason. The Perspective2s sounded with same midrange but closer to live music with much better bass.
