Joseph Audio Perspective next steps


Greetings,
Interested in hearing from those who have previously owned Joseph Audio Perspective speakers. Which speaker(s) did you move to from the Perspective, both positive and neg experiences appreciated. Amp(s) and preamp used would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I still own JA Perspectives (and hope to upgrade).  Love them.  But I switch between the JA's and my Thiel 2.7s, and enjoy both.  The Thiels in my system are a bit more full and rich from top to bottom with more dense imaging, the Josephs more refined tonally and punchier in the bass.   If I ever moved on it would probably to try something like the Devore O/96 - a totally different sound.   But then, I like trying different speakers.  I'm still happy with my Perspectives.

Why are you asking?  You have Perspectives and have the itch to move on, I presume?
Yes, owned them since 2014 and still love them. Don't have a strong itch but if there was a speaker I identify as an improvement (with my system) that would be a definite step up [within reasonable budget constraints] I might consider making the jump. Aesthetics matter as well.

Attended several shows before (and after) the JAP purchase and just always gravitate back to the Perspective. 

Thanks for your feedback Prof.


jm1221,

No prob.

Have you thought of upgrading them to the graphene version?

Also, is there any area of performance you find wanting in the Perspectives?  I auditioned a ton of speakers before settling on the Perspectives and perhaps I can point towards some speakers that have different qualities.
