All New Joseph Audio Profile Loudspeakers // The Affordable Reference !

The Profiles have been around for years.  I've often wondered how close they get to the Perspectives.

I briefly considered the Profiles at one point, but held out to "go for the gold" with the Perspectives.

How much are used Perspectives?  To me, Joseph Audio’s need Seas Excel and shiny, beautiful cabs...

The original Perspectives have tended to go for between $6,500 - $8,000 USD.

I agree b_limo, I'm attracted to the beauty of the Perspectives as much as I am to the sound.  I generally dislike seeing speaker drivers, but the Seas drivers are an exception.   They just look "lux" in of themselves, and the cabinet work on the Perspectives is mind-blowing.   Sometimes I literally just sit there taking in how nice they look in my room.

Many say the Pulsar 2's are the best sounding speakers that Joseph Audio makes ! 
Just add a few REL s-510 subs or maybe six later on !

I don't see many saying the Pulsars, 1 or 2, are the best speaker Joseph makes.  Best bang-for-buck perhaps.  But almost everyone who has heard both the Pulsars and Perspectives rate the Perspectives as a step up all around. 



I've heard the Perspective 1 and 2s, and the Pulsar 1s.   Originally I was interested in the Pulsars and demoed them a couple times.  They certainly do the JA magic - tone, clarity, huge soundstage, precise imaging, surprisingly big sound and deep bass.


My main thing was that in some tracks I was conscious of a bit of a bass hump or warmth - the one that helps smaller speakers sound bigger than they are.  So in deeper male voices for instance I could hear some emphasis.    But when we switched to the Perspectives that completely evened out, and they sounded more linear and balanced through those regions.  Plus to my ears, instrumental tone got just that bit more sophisticated and rich.   That sold me on the Perspectives. 



I'd expect this difference to hold up between the Pulsar 2 and Perspective 2, side by side.
