Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls

Well, I ordered a pair of Perspectives in Rosewood (based on a sample photo from Jeff) and so now the wait is on...

In the interim, I began the process of improving my room. My wife was quite the trooper, helping me move my 100 pound plus ARC 160S and juggling an even heavier rack!  Naturally my Harbeths are sounding better than ever, but since I didn't stretch for the Pearls, I don't "have" to sell them. 

I just pulled out and cleaned (in my degritter) Rickie Lee Jones' first album and it's like when I first bought it all those years ago!

Happy New Years to all. 

Wow, it's a Joseph Perspetive-Festival!

We will all be listening to our new Perspectives pretty soon.

Congrats!  Color me SO JEALOUS!!!  By all means please let us know your impressions once the speakers are broken in.  I have a strong feeling you might end up selling your Harbeths anyway once you have a new, er, Perspective on things.  Heh heh.  I’ve read more than one member here ditching their Harbeths after hearing JA speakers and notta one ditching JA speakers for Harbeth.  Look forward to hearing your thoughts, and it’ll sure be a Happy New Year for you!!!

@prof I recently acquired a new amp by Aavik, it’s their U-280 model. I was very skeptical since it’s class D and up until this point I had yet to meet a class D that I liked. But this amp has totally shook my belief system. It’s like the Pesperctive2s are on steroids now (in a good way). The bass coming out of these speakers is unbelievable. So much so that I ended up selling my REL s510 subs ... not needed anymore!

The level of realism, purity, and transparency is just amazing! It’s hard to believe that these relatively small footprint speakers can sound so big, yet so pure and intimate. Yep, these speakers can scale with more high end equipment without a doubt. We are all lucky to own these perfect little gems!

Good to hear arafiq.

I'm actually borrowing a friend's Bryston 4B3 again to swap from my CJ Premier 12 tube monoblocks.  I'd tried it before with my tube pre-amp - liked some things but definitely preferred my Premier 12s.  However I'm curious to try all solid state, so this time I'll use my Benchmark LA4 pre-amp.
