New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

Just wanted to update my prior thread where this topic may have gotten lost.  As many of you may know by now, Joseph Audio has come out with the new Pulsar Graphene 2. This new iteration of the venerable Pulsars has a graphene coated magnesium midrange-woofer cone, and the drive motor, suspension system, etc., have been revamped. From what I have been told, the upgrade is pretty significant ... the sound is fuller and has greater ease, yet is very resolved. Jeff Joseph advises that an upgrade path will be available for existing owners of the Pulsars, too. Also, note that the price quoted in the Soundstage piece was in Canadian dollars ... Jeff informs me that the price in USD is $8,999 per pair. I am eager to hear the new Pulsars.

Joseph dealer here****

Having sold a few pairs of both new versions , I can say for sure that the Graphene models are a very nice update.  The Pulsars have always been one of my all time favorite speakers, and the new V2 takes that even a step further.  Jeff did a great job on the redesign.

The answer Mark just gave is pretty close to how I feel.

I would certainly say more then a slight improvement, but night and day would probably be going to far....as the originals are just such good speakers.

For those asking, to me the new Graphene versions have a fuller overall sound with an increase in bottom end and bass definition.  Midrange is slightly improved.....and still the same fantastic top end that the Pulsars/Perspectives always had.

I some how missed this post from a few months ago, but I've been a fan of Joseph speakers for years, and a dealer now for a little over 10 years.  I have both the Pearl 20/20 and Perspective2s setup for demo (as well as Pulsar2s).  

The Perspectives are flat out awesome speakers in my opinion, and would be perfect for large majority of systems out there.  With that said, there is no doubt that the Pearls offer a much fuller sound with quite a bit more low end response and detail.  

In the end, both are fantastic speakers.  I would suggest listening to both and see which you prefer!
