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

I own a pair of the Joseph Audio Profiles and love them. I previously owned the JA - 22XL's and loved them, too. However, I missed the bottom end and eventually traded up. In addition to a more defined and secure deep bass (than the 22's) the sound stage and depth are phenomenal. The mids and highs retain that Joseph magic and the speakers are lightning fast. Jeff Joseph recommends Cardas Audio and I purchased the Clear Cygnus speaker cables. They work well with my Bel Canto electronics. My pair of Profiles is in the matte black finish that looks better than in the photos. I listen mostly to classic recorded jazz and my set-up handles that musical genre well. BTW, Jeff Joseph is a Thelonius Monk fan. He is very knowledgeable about 50's and 60's jazz and puts on a great display at audio shows. Hope this helps.

I like Joseph audio but they're nowhere near as good as the monitor audio platinum 200 generation 2 or anything in the platinum range. The top end isn't as natural and open sounding with the soft dome tweeter as the AMT tweeter is. And the bass is not as fast and articulate. And the sound stage is not as three-dimensional.

havoc,
Having heard the Monitor Audio platinum speakers, I'd have to disagree with your assessment.   For me the Monitor Audio Platinum series, while very vivid sounding, sound bleached and artificial for lots of content.  (Though put just the right audiophile track on and they shine).   And I've never heard the Platinums do as great a "disappearing" and 3 dimensional presentation as the Joseph speakers.  That is one of the JA strong points remarked upon by the vast majority of listeners. 


But, hey, opinions are subjective and my "natural" may not be your "natural."

A Dealer in Canada that sells Acapella Horns and Vivid Audio and Cube Audio and Joseph Audio speakers and their favorite speakers are the Joseph Audio Perspective 2's !
 
The Joseph Audio Profiles has a lot of this magic for a lot less money !

If you don't have a big room then these Pulsar 2's are the real bargain here ! 
  
These speakers are a perfect match with Pure Audio Class A gear !
