Joseph Audio Perspective next steps


Greetings,
Interested in hearing from those who have previously owned Joseph Audio Perspective speakers. Which speaker(s) did you move to from the Perspective, both positive and neg experiences appreciated. Amp(s) and preamp used would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I have perspective 2's in a large room, 15 x 30, and they work, but yes, scale and bass impact is reduced and not going to match a larger speaker with more/bigger drivers moving more air.  I do miss this sometimes.  I will be adding spatial audio speakers for a completely deferent sound (open baffle) and to get the scale back (have owned spatials before so I know what they are, and I like them). I will either sell or keep the perspectives for an alternative.  They are great speakers, do most everything right, a proven design that is a joy to own and listen to, zero fatigue. I don't think it gets much better than this in a dynamic, box speaker. By the way, tried them with a sub and didn't like it, couldn't make them work well, but I've never been able to make a sub work and have given up on them.

I think a 26x15' room is large - sound-wise, for how speaker companies design and position figuratively and literally their offerings. Case in point, size of listening rooms at my local dealers are never bigger than 20x12. But of course that may not be intentional.

 

 

It will really ultimately come down to just how much low end info you want.  My demo area is larger than your room, and I have no issues making Perspectives work great.  Of course as mentioned, the Perspective is really more of a large mid size speaker, so the overall bass impact will not be quite as much as a larger speaker with larger drivers.
All in all, the Perspectives are fantastic speakers, and likely would do well in your room.  Add a sub or two if you want/need the really low stuff.

Joseph Audio Perspective2 fan. They are as good as I have heard, but I use a 15” sub with them. 18’ x 35’ x 10’ room with no problem. Used them in a similarly sized room without a sub; no problem. Just returned from AXPONA.  The Perspectives are staying for life.
