Know about PranaFidelity?
I, too am interested in these. I can find nothing online as far as pricing. Anyone help? 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
@verdantaudio I’ve added the Bambusa to my list. I’m interested to see specs when available.

@prof  honest question: can they rock? I am curious to know if the Pulsars can handle say ACDC or Tool (trying to name bands people actually know) well.

New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
I’d kill for a blocking feature to mute certain people. It’s easier to just ignore them. Lonely people need validation even if it’s negative.That said it’s been interesting reading about the Pulsars

@uberwaltz I have no doubt they are good but I’m not spending that much for cassette playback. I’m investing in bands and labels with analog media rather than streaming it.if a $500 Tascam is a pretty good player for playback on not well recorded ...
