New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

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.

Has anyone compared the prospective 2 and the pearl 20.20 with an audition?   I heard the former at CAF and fell in love.   They might be the only speaker that can pry my Thiel 3.6 and cs6 out of my system.

i have a large room and although the prospectives blew me away they were in a very small room.  Wondering what the step up factor would be with the Pearls.    

Im kinda thinking a 36K Speaker will be a substantial improvement over a 13K speaker but hey thats just me.

I disagree. I haven’t heard the Pearls but more expensive doesn’t mean better IMO. I have heard $100K speakers that didn’t impress me at all. The best speakers I have heard so far at any price is the Perspective2s. I hope I can afford them one day. Probably would be my last speakers that I purchase.
