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 for chiming in @jpremm 

Wow, 18 inches off the rear wall seems like fairly close for the Perspectives.   Good to hear they work well for you.

You mention upgrading to the newest version of the Perspectives.  Did you purchase brand new Perspective Graphenes?  Or did you send your Perspectives in for the graphene upgrade?

 

I'm planning on sending my original Perspectives to Jeff Joseph at some point for the graphene upgrade so I'm wondering what differences you heard when you upgraded.

 

Thanks.

I sent them in for an upgrade.  I am not far from them so it was the way to go.  
 

I don’t listen super load, more into moderate levels as I enjoy details over blowing out my ear drums.  Thus about 18 inches works for me.  
 

The upgrade improved everything I enjoy about his speakers.  They are very accurate and simply put forth the source sound. You can listen and feel like you are are almost live in a Bitter End like setting.  A lot of speakers emphasize their own build and bring a character to the music.  I think speakers should play what’s on the album and his does just that.  Pre amps should not need tone controls and speakers should not be built with tone biases.  

Thanks jpremm, that's really good to hear.

I'm really hoping to send my pair to Jeff for the upgrade this spring.
