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.

Rich, this post makes me happy. Let us know when you obtain the Perspectives. I'm waiting on Jeff Joseph to tell me what the graphene upgrade cost is going to be on Pearl 3s.

Joseph is a good choice moving from limited range mbl.  But moving from mbl......

astewart,

I'm pretty close, but I'm holding off pulling the trigger until  I figure a couple things out.


mapman, I didn't quite follow your last post.

IMO:  The Joseph Perspectives have a disappearing/soundstaging/imaging act that can remind me of the MBLs to a degree, and a similar type of transparency (though hard to beat the MBL), but with some more richness in the midrange and a more traditional sense of drive in the bass.
