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.

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.
Prof & 2LE:
Yes, am considering the P2 upgrade path.  Have you heard the P2?  Know any up-graders? Their take/perspective? (no pun :)    


I did have a little audition of the P2 graphene model at my dealers.  Unfortunately they were set up too close to the back wall so the bass was overblown, which was a bummer, as that apparently is where the new version is improved most.

Aside from that, I did *think* I apprehended an even more sophisticated midrange/high end than the original perspectives, maybe a bit more clarity too.   But hard to truly tell under the circumstances.

One person in the long JA Perspective Graphene thread here upgraded his Perspectives to the graphene (or traded up) and was completely thrilled.  Said the 1s were great, but the 2s are true destination speakers.

I can't afford under current circumstances to have mine upgraded, but I plan to when I can.
