I have owned a pair of the JA Pulsars, which I switched back and forth with Focal Utopia Diablo III’s. I have also listened to but haven’t owned the Harbeth 30.2’s, so I can opine on the comparison but I really know the JA’s as I owned them and listened to them all of the time, whereas, the Harbeths I only listened to at a dealer. I am a huge JA fan. The Pulsars are an amazing speaker for $4000 used. I would pick them over the Harbeths. For a little speaker, the Pulsars have a surprising amount of bass and the overall JA “house sound” is very pleasing to my ears. Plus, they are beautiful speakers and you can sell them for what you paid for them used.
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
