New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
However JA price increases have gone too far for me. Same here. I’d planned on buying new Perspectives a year ago, had to wait, and now the Perspective 2s are too much too afford (much worse here in Canada). So my only hope at this point is snagging a pair of used original Perspectives. (And then when money permits, send them to Jeff for the upgrade them to graphene 2). |
The Joseph audio speakers are always among those I enjoy most at shows. Soundstage imaging and detail always seems uniquely good but they do tend to be smaller than most for the price. That's a good thing for those with space limitations which is often the case. I have no clue what use of Graphene accomplishes with a speaker driver. Is that mostly for marketing appeal? |
The introduction of the new Pearl3 Graphene has garnered many enthusiastic notices. Here’s one from The Absolute Sound: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/rocky-mountain-audio-fest-2019-loudspeakers/ Best sound, cost-no-object: "I could have gone Vandersteen, Wilson, or YG but my heart kept returning to the Joseph Pearl 3 with Berkeley Audio Design sourcing Doshi Audio power. Even in a smallish room the sound was effortless, and brimming with musicality and warmth. Take my money, please." Joseph has been demoing versions of the Pearl for years, often garnering among the best-of-show mentions, so it's seems odd that it's never been reviewed anywhere! I'd really enjoy reading what TAS of Stereophile would say of Joseph's flagship. |
