New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
This new iteration of the venerable Pulsars has a graphene coated magnesium midrange-woofer cone, and the drive motor, suspension system, etc., have been revamped. From what I have been told, the upgrade is pretty significant ... the sound is fuller and has greater e
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AS i've mentioned often here, I have the Thors MTM which has the W18E001, The Original Pulsars I believe has the EX001. This new Seas Graphene EX001 has a superior cone material and a titanium voice coil. IMHO its the worlds finest midwoofer made. Although Scan speak has some incredible/phenomenol midwoofers at $1000 each = $2G's/pair. Madisound should be stocking the Graphene from what they told me some weeks ago, $500 each and well worth the cash, based on how wonderful the E001;'s sound. Thing is the JA's use the Millennium tweeter. The db is too low for my taste. I am nota fan of any dome tweets. For all range mids i use a FR. But will hang on to the W18E001's for bass, up to 1200hz. I don't want to take away from JA's fine product, but here you can easily do a DIY with the same Graphene , with the W22 at near same price as the W18Graphene. How does the W22Grap compare with Scan's massive midwoofers..I have no idea. I am a Seas fan, so I'd go Seas over Scan. Scan no doubt will go deeper,almost like a sub sound, but thats not what I want.. I think the GrapW22 is more a *musical bass* vs Scan's.= More softer, but rich and full for sure. JA employing the Graph is a huge bonus over the EX001, And anyone with a original EX001 can very easily swap out for the Graph. Last note, if you are going Graph, I highly recommend going with Mundorf SESGO caps only in the woofer. If you can not afford those go Silver Supreme. 8, 10, or 12 uf as prefence. This will really *Hot Rod* your Graphene for max performance. Graphene worlds finest midwoofer made today. |

Without question they have been rated and still one of the best sounding speakers in the world (yes very true) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Worlds best due to Seas Engineered product, not anything to do with JA labs. The Seas Excel line of Midwoofers are indeed the worlds best sounding, along with Scanspeak's top of the line which are 2X's the price as Seas. I prefer Seas Graphene over the Scanspeak. Now as for the Seas tyweeter, I'd say its the best dome tweeter, having not heard their newest Cresendo, which my guess is out shoots the Millennium But as I've said many times here, I've dumped all dome tweeters in place of a 4 inch FR($200/pair) + Magnovox 1963 horn tweeter(rare/under $100). This combo far superior to any dome/Seas/Scanspeak midrange/tweeter. The FR/horn completely totally annihilates all dome tweeters in the 2k-15k hz. Domes are dinasaurs. The best sounding speaker in my opinon is a W22 Graphene /Mundorf SESGO + Vox 5 Inch FR, well if you got the extra cash a AER FR. But thats a 10 inch thus making the W22 completely un-necessary. Nothing would come even close. (excluding the incredible FC's) |
