Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars


WHOOPEE!!!!! Today, I parted finally with my beloved B&W N804s in favor of a pair of JA Pulsars in the Sapele Finish. Using temporarily a pair of Target stands until the Sound Anchors come in. I only have a couple of hours on these speakers, but they image like crazy and the sound is exquisite and non-fatiguing. They are much better suited to my 10x10x8 room than the B&Ws. Will post a more in-depth review after they’re broken in a bit more. This has been SOME St. Patty’s Day!

@moto_man — what was your experience comparing the Pulsars to the Focals?  Inquiring minds want to know!
"I have yet to hear even faint praise for the Pearl 3. "

That’s the single worst -- and in fact the only negative -- thing I’ve ever seen written about the Pearls. Hearing Satchmo’s "Saint James Infirmary" on vinyl through them (original Pearls BTW) at a NYC show remains one of my top audio reproduction related experiences of all time.

@jafant -- if I was fortunate enough to own Pearls I'd be listening rather than wasting my time writing posts, so no surprise we don't hear from them often.  The fact that they very rarely come up for sale here is telling. 
Congrats!  Love the sapele finish too.  Would be interesting to know how much the sub adds once you get it dialed in.
