Amps for Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene's?
Soix,  The highs and mids are good but could use more slam in the bottom end. The JA's are are very relaxed speakers. The Bel Canto is a good amp but maybe there is something better? I will try to get some home demos done.  
Amps for Joseph Audio Pulsar 2's?
Nice speakers.  What amp are you using now, and what would you like to improve upon?  What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you?  Also, what’s your budget limit?I am using a Bryston 2B. I am looking to improve everything. The am... 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
I have not heard the Pulsar's but can comment on the Pulsar 2's as I am a proud new owner of them. All I can say is they are a stunning standmount speaker. The amount of bass that comes out of them is surprising. It just does everything right. Fro...

Well I decided on the Joseph Audio Pulsars 2 Graphene's. Unbelievable speakers. I added a PMC Twenty sub and this combo is much better than my old PMC Twenty5.26's. Just sounds better in my room. Now into amplification.

A bit of an update... I had my dealer come to my house to see my space. He said that the speakers I have listed are too big for my room. That was the problem with the PMC's. I wasn't maximizing their potential. He suggested some good standmounts w...

Looking for speaker recommendations
Just some more info about my system and room. The room is fully furnished and carpeted. Speaker placement can only be 12 to 18 inches off the back wall and about 7 ft apart. I am using a April Music Aura Vita cd player and Bluesound Node 2 with Sp... 
PMC IB2 SE
Anyone heard these speakers? 
Speaker audition recommendations?
For that matter, when auditioning any speaker that has some kind of level control over one or more drivers it certainly makes sense to take note of where those controls are set, and adjust accordingly.   That may explain it then. 
Speaker audition recommendations?
Well I went and auditioned the Golden Ear Reference’s and the Paradigm Persona 3F’s. The references are quite large. Bigger than what I thought. I was not blown away by these speakers. The lacked the nice highs and midrange. It maybe the bass was ... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
Had a listen to the 3f's tonight. They are a very impressive speaker. Very detailed but not fatiguing. Nice tight and punchy bass, wide soundstage. A very smooth sounding speaker. I preferred them over the Aerial Acoustics 7t's which I heard a cou... 
Quad 99 preamp/909 amplifier combo
Thanks for the replies. I guess what I'm wondering is do you think that this combo would better my Esoteric AI-10 integrated amp? 
The best speaker you ever heard?
The original Revel Ultima Salons. They would have been much nicer sounding if when I heard them they had some real amplification driving them. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I had Anthony Gallo 3.1's(great little speaker) and thought I'd have them for 10+ years until I heard the PMC FB1i's and traded them in for them. The PMC's can't hold a candle to a lot of speakers listed in this forum but for the $ amount you get ... 
Floorstanding speakers vs. Standmount speakers&sub
Price range would be $3500 - $6000 for both speakers & sub. Also I listen mostly to hard rock/metal music.
