Joseph Audio Pulsar – Original vs. Graphene opinions?


I'm curious about the Pulsars, but have no easy way to audition, and would be grateful if those who heard the original and current models could offer opinions.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks rlb61.  That's good feedback.

How did you compare the original vs the graphene version?

mozartfan,
Although Joseph is emphasizing the "graphene" in the name, apparently it's really the re-design of the rest of the driver including motor etc that brought improvements, leading Joseph to also re design his crossover.
So it's quite plausible they sound different, and perhaps improved (even if it came from tweaking of the crossover).   The Perspective Graphene model does measure different from the original - highs are a bit more flat.
@prof  I heard the graphenes in someone else's system, in a small room somewhat similar to mine. I was not able to hear them side by side, but I could hear the difference almost immediately.

Ok thanks rlb61
As far as the Perspectives, the reports generally seem positive about the bass and upper frequency changes.

Room is about 18 x 18 and set up to listen about 14 or 15 ft from speakers. Speakers are about 10 ft apart.  I changed out larger pro acs to the pulsers when they first came out.  They did not last long.  I jumped on the perspectives when they first came out which was a few years after the pulsars.  Money well spent as was the upgrade to the latest version.   They are actually on a per piece measure cheaper than the turntable or the amps but I feel the pearls would be overkill here.  The perspectives are better than a few speakers at 2x if you like smooth analog though out.  I have tubes behind them which truly open them up.  Super detailed as well.  I don’t have a bass issue but they are 18 inches off the rear wall.
