New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

@riaa
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. 

Celo, So you think Joseph Audio would make their 36K Speaker sound inferior to their 13-15K Model?? Do you have an ounce of common sense at all? Im not surprised with your vast intellect and reasoning skills that you cant afford a pair of the perspectives.

^^^ Well...that was snippy!


celo’s point is not unreasonable.


Many audiophiles, myself included, have listened to various speakers within a company's line, and have found that certain designs hit a sweet spot to our ears. In other words, I may find a model in the mid/upper range that pushes all my buttons, and while the bigger, more expensive model may sound bigger, it may not necessarily sound "better" to my ears. Adding ever more complexity doesn’t determine better sonics.It certainly CAN, but doesn’t always.


Now, whether this is the case with Joseph Audio I can’t say. I heard the Pearls once, with limited content and they were amazing. And Jeff Joseph is a heck of a speaker designer, so I would not be surprised if the Pearls outperform the Perspectives.


But celo was making a general point that on principle is valid: bigger and more expensive does not automatically entail better. Many of us have direct experience of this, so it’s best not to assume.

I see no point in discussing ideas with people who talk like a little kid. If you grow up, then we can talk.

Not necessarily moniker too long to copy.
With a little more experience with high end equipment you will understand, especially with speakers.  But thanks for the worthless feedback.
