JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2


Well still investigating different speakers. In the used world these speakers are similarly priced and both have great reviews.  Does anybody in the Audubon family have familiarity with these two speakers. Which one would you recommend and why.  I have a dedicated room approx 20x 15 with no special acoustic treatments. Wall to wall carpet. I mostly stream with bluesound node 2. I have a Hegel 390 Integrated amp and project turntable and Yamaha CD player both around $300 - $400.  Mostly listen to blues, folk and rock. Some classical too.

look forward to hearing from you

the Revival Audio Atalante 5 sounded bass and midrange centric and did not have the resolution of the Pulsar.  It does have a big bold sound that the Pulsar cannot compete with.

The Pulsars are amazing sounding speakers but to my ears not big enough.  The 30.2 are also amazing sounding speakers and would be my recommendation to you- however based on what you are after- bass, vocal clarity etc. get the Harbeth SHL5 XD.  

Pulsars with a pair of quality subwoofers would be an interesting way to go.
