Joseph Audio dealer in the northeast?

Well, it looks like the Music Store no longer carries the speakers ... so the search continues. 

Howard--I was responding to the first post when you responded. Greenfield would be MUCH better! Thank you!

Thank you for respoding, pkelley. I appreciate it

Still: anything in NYC or Boston? Anything in Montreal? I can make my way to Philly but that's an 8 hour drive. Oh well! I've never seen the Liberty Bell.

clearthink: it is a bit odd, and you'd think that the dealers wouldn't be too happy about it. Maybe it's part of their mystique? There is a thread, similar to this one, looking for dealers in the West, noting the oddness and difficulty of communication.

pinotphile: I wrote twice and I did check my junk folder; nothing.  It doesn't really bother me. They can run their business any way they want. I've read that Jeff Joseph is a good guy and is responsive to customers, but it does seem esoteric to the point of invisibility!

Todd: good man--thank you very much. I'll try that email. Your experience is ideal to me. I am not going to spend $10k on a new pair of speakers; that's not principle, that's reality. I hope to have a chance to listen at the Montreal audio show, though I'm not sure if that's the best place to audition speakers--and those will undoubtedly be the new Pulsars.  

I've heard such tempting things about the Pulsars but I'm probably drawn to them in part because ... I can't find them. 

I want to be careful: I'm new out here and I have owned gear made only by well-known companies (McIntosh, Magnepan, Bryston, etc) and sold by established dealers. This world of boutique equipment is new to me. 

In fairness to Joseph Audio and for the Audiogon record: I sent an email to Mehran at Sorasound. He's a JA dealer in Chicago. I immediately got an enthusiastic and helpful response. He wrote to Jeff Joseph, who immediately emailed me the name of a dealer in Massachusetts, Perfect Note Audio (which has almost no web presence, as far as I can tell). The dealer immediately sent me a comprehensive, welcoming email about his approach and the Pulsars, and offered among other things the possibility of a home audition. Nothing aloof or non-responsive in the least. Quite ON.

All of it feels unusual to me but there is certainly a path forward. It just took a little work on my part--and some help from this forum.

Other than this, I can't say anything about the speakers or the company. But I am curious to hear how they SOUND....

Thank you, Todd, and thank you for facilitating the connection. I actually don't live too far away from the dealer (a few hours, which isn't bad) so I'll go down there in the next few weeks. If I'm reading it right, you had the experience I'm hoping to have, finding a used pair (of something) in excellent condition. 

I haven't bought speakers in years--years!--so this is all fun and a bit daunting. I'm coming to terms with my compromised listening space and, as I've eclipsed the meridian of my 50s, my compromised hearing. 

At the risk of wearing out my welcome here, I'm going to start a thread soon asking for recommendations for my specific needs/desires. I will say that this forum is (usually) good at listening and helping!

I'm on it, prof! Thank you for the link, I am absolutely in the "speaker buying research phase"! And Devore is definitely on my to-hear list. It may already be too late to avoid the mania of which you speak...

@relaxasaurus, it does take some work. You might get some help here if you give your geographical boundaries (only NYC?) and the specific speaker you're after. People do find them, one way or another!

You may need to hop on 95 and head south, though perhaps someone can chime in. When I was looking five years ago, I finally did get a response from them, but it took a few tries. Maybe the whole thing adds to the mystique?! Or maybe they (Jeff?) are doing just fine with their current business model. I found places here and there (Boston, Chicago, and some places out west); I thought there was a place on Long Island but maybe not. Good luck!
