All New Joseph Audio Profile Loudspeakers // The Affordable Reference !

The original Perspectives have tended to go for between $6,500 - $8,000 USD.

I agree b_limo, I'm attracted to the beauty of the Perspectives as much as I am to the sound.  I generally dislike seeing speaker drivers, but the Seas drivers are an exception.   They just look "lux" in of themselves, and the cabinet work on the Perspectives is mind-blowing.   Sometimes I literally just sit there taking in how nice they look in my room.

The Profiles have been around for years.  I've often wondered how close they get to the Perspectives.

I briefly considered the Profiles at one point, but held out to "go for the gold" with the Perspectives.

I don't see many saying the Pulsars, 1 or 2, are the best speaker Joseph makes.  Best bang-for-buck perhaps.  But almost everyone who has heard both the Pulsars and Perspectives rate the Perspectives as a step up all around. 



I've heard the Perspective 1 and 2s, and the Pulsar 1s.   Originally I was interested in the Pulsars and demoed them a couple times.  They certainly do the JA magic - tone, clarity, huge soundstage, precise imaging, surprisingly big sound and deep bass.


My main thing was that in some tracks I was conscious of a bit of a bass hump or warmth - the one that helps smaller speakers sound bigger than they are.  So in deeper male voices for instance I could hear some emphasis.    But when we switched to the Perspectives that completely evened out, and they sounded more linear and balanced through those regions.  Plus to my ears, instrumental tone got just that bit more sophisticated and rich.   That sold me on the Perspectives. 



I'd expect this difference to hold up between the Pulsar 2 and Perspective 2, side by side.

havoc,
Having heard the Monitor Audio platinum speakers, I'd have to disagree with your assessment.   For me the Monitor Audio Platinum series, while very vivid sounding, sound bleached and artificial for lots of content.  (Though put just the right audiophile track on and they shine).   And I've never heard the Platinums do as great a "disappearing" and 3 dimensional presentation as the Joseph speakers.  That is one of the JA strong points remarked upon by the vast majority of listeners. 


But, hey, opinions are subjective and my "natural" may not be your "natural."

A Dealer in Canada that sells Acapella Horns and Vivid Audio and Cube Audio and Joseph Audio speakers and their favorite speakers are the Joseph Audio Perspective 2’s !

Who is that?
FWIW: The proprietor of Executive Stereo, selling Vivid, Spendor D-series, Martin Logan and others, says the Joseph Perspectives are his favorite speaker.
