Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls


There have been several recent threads that have included both of these speaker. However, much of the discussion has focused on the Perspectives, with a number of positive reviews. I am quite interested in hearing them, but am also seriously considering the far more expensive Pearls as well. 

 

I am wondering if anyone has done a direct comparison or has upgraded from the Perspectives to the Pearls?  I am specifically interested if the Pearls might overwhelm my room (13 X 18 with 9 foot ceilings) which is not a space dedicated to my system (it's my living room.)

Thanks in advance for your experiences with these two speakers.

I can't believe you could go wrong with the Perspectives in your sized room, if you like the sound, and I have loved it for a long time, since Pearl I's came out. The Pulsar's, if properly positioned, can give a lot of deep bass joy without a sub as well.

I think the Perspectives will go plenty deep and solid for you in that room. I run 2-1/2 way type speakers like those, albeit with two smaller woofers, and they will get down into the 30s solidly in my 16 x 20 x 10 room.
