Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Perspective

@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.

One member on this forum owns Perspective2 and has either owned or extensively listened to Pearl. He prefers Perspective2 ;)

I've heard Pearl3 Graphene at RMAF with Doshi electronics and the Perspective2 at CAF with much more modest Unico integrated. I thought they sounded very similar, however Pearl3 was little bit smoother, organic and obviously moves more air.

The moment I heard Pearl3 at RMAF, I instantly decided that I'll start saving money to buy the Pearl3. But when I heard the Perspective2 few months later, it was so close that I just had to pull the trigger on Perspective 2 on the spot. However, one thing I know for sure is that you can't really judge a speaker without living with it for few months. So in reality, Pearl3 might be a lot better. Who knows!

I recall when me and my gf mesmerizingly listening to the Perspective 2 in CAF, she noticed Jeff Joseph in the corner of the room and whispered "He looks familiar. Is he the same person who made the Pearl 3 we liked so much in Denver?" I replied yes. She said - "The guy knows how to make really good sounding speaker". :)

@celo What a coincidence, before the Perspective 2, I was using Harbeth speakers. Loved it!
