New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

Look at the Stereophile CJ Premiere 12 chart.  The simulated speaker load they use is pretty close to what the Pulsars have.  Shows about 0.5 dB boost.

Perfectly manageable with placement, and of course, in a good room. :)

So with respect to the original post, as an owner of original Pulsars interested if anyone can comment with respect to discernible acoustic differences between the original Pulsars and their latest revision?
Remain amazed by the pictures these small speakers are capable of painting, but if the revisions can offer even more and the difference is quantifiable (my call),  I'd very much like to know.

Bumping this thread - anyone  have more comments on the Perspective2 in the last year?  I'm hoping to hear them soon, or maybe after the pandemic. Had to bump the thread when I read this.  :)

Actually, *everyone* is hearing a sound that is entirely in their heads. It's just sound waves until the brain processes it.  IMO, if people cannot describe their “feeling” when they listen, there is close to zero value to their input.

Personally, I have no use for people describing their "feelings" when describing audio gear.   If they can relay how it sounds, that's helpful.But emotional reactions completely vary between people - I can be utterly unmoved by a speaker that makes someone else swoon.(And that's also why "sounds like music" is the most useless phrase in all of audio reviewing).

I'm sure you're probably right, and if I did more extensive and careful comparisons, I might be able to articulate the differences (as you did so very well in another thread.)   I find that I really struggle with A/B comparisons, and it's hard to describe the differences in sound.  I've listened to many systems at dealers, and one visit to RMAF, and heard systems that are shockingly expensive and probably technically excellent, but that left me unmoved.

But sometimes a system really works for me, and I get a powerful emotional reaction, an audio nirvana experience that I can't explain in technical terms.  It's that experience of pure joy that's really hooked me on high end audio.  Of course, part of that might be my mood and other things going on in my head at the time that allow or prevent me from having that experience.
