Hope I'm not muddying the waters here. Curious, has anyone compared the Joseph Pulsar to the Coincident Triumph Extreme II? Is the Coincident in the same league?
Great Monitors Joseph Audio Pulsar ?
I read a review today of the Joseph Audio Pulsar. Has anyone heard these in a listening room setting and do you have an opinion? Before you laugh, what I am looking for is a monitor that will give me the wonderful mids, highs, and all the accolades that go with an Avalon or Magico or Wilson or Revel or etc. but with a bass cut off that can be supplemented with a Subwoofer. I am looking to move from 2 channels to 5 channels and have never been able to integrate a subwoofer well in my system. Does a great (under $10k - sorry no Dynaudio C1) monitor exist that does everything but just has a low end cut out. It seems that everyone is trying to build no-compromise monitors and in fact everything gets compromised given the price. Help.

The Pulsars are truly outstanding. I owned a pair for about 4 months, using them with a pair of subs, and with digital crossover and room correction courtesy of Lyngdorf. I've owned many fine speakers over the past 40 years, up to and including SoundLabs A-1PX. No speaker has engaged me in the music the way that the Pulsars did. Notice the past tense there. So, what did I do? Dumped 'em, dumped 'em like yesterday's newspaper. Why? To purchase their larger brothers, the new Perspectives! My listening room is very large at 32' X 15' X 9' (avg...it's vaulted). Even with the subs, the Pulsars could start to hit their limits at high volumes and/or large peaks. let me emphasize the words 'start to'. The upshot here is that if you're considering using them in a more mormal size room, go for it. I'll lend a word of caution here. The quality of the mid and upper bass is so good that mediocre subwoofers need not apply. |
Please email me off site. I don't believe I am supposed to discuss prices in the Forums. [email protected] Thanks!! |
