Joseph Audio Pulsar – Original vs. Graphene opinions?


I'm curious about the Pulsars, but have no easy way to audition, and would be grateful if those who heard the original and current models could offer opinions.

Thanks in advance!

I sent them in for an upgrade.  I am not far from them so it was the way to go.  
 

I don’t listen super load, more into moderate levels as I enjoy details over blowing out my ear drums.  Thus about 18 inches works for me.  
 

The upgrade improved everything I enjoy about his speakers.  They are very accurate and simply put forth the source sound. You can listen and feel like you are are almost live in a Bitter End like setting.  A lot of speakers emphasize their own build and bring a character to the music.  I think speakers should play what’s on the album and his does just that.  Pre amps should not need tone controls and speakers should not be built with tone biases.  

Thanks jpremm, that's really good to hear.

I'm really hoping to send my pair to Jeff for the upgrade this spring.

Doing research on JA Pulsars, I had a listen to their Graphene version paired with Perreaux amps, it was detailed but I didn’t enjoy the experience. My partner who was with me, actually had a touch of anxiety attack when sitting in the listening seat. 

I doubt it is to do with the speakers only, or the amps, but the pairing didn’t work for us. 
on the lookout for the originals
