I don’t have any first-hand experience with the Joseph audio perspectives, so take this with as many grains of salt as you wish. I’m sure they are great speakers and I’ve seen many positive reviews. However, Stereophile reported and measured that the original perspectives have a pretty lively top end which could impact the tone and timber of classical music. When I hear tone & timber & classical music, I tend to think of a flat or slightly dampened treble response. Secondly, there’s only so much bass slam that a 2 1/2 way speaker with 5.5 inch mid range/woofers can generate. You may need a speaker with bigger drivers
Joseph Audio Perspectives (originals) - Rendition of symphony orchestras
Tossing out to those who know the JA Perspectives (originals) sound ... Currently in a conundrum about whether the Perspectives will achieve a satisfying : ) reproduction of a 'big' orchestral sound. The kind you feel in your chest, "almost" physically as well as emotionally. I know these are superlative speakers. I expect they'll have a full spectrum of chops, for me the tone/timbre element is primary, and I know the imaging and sound-staging is there. I know they're dynamic and engaging in low frequencies. I haven't heard much about how well they can impart the bigness of an orchestra - thump of tympani, orchestral dynamics, massed strings, (etc., etc. !). any help on this question?
They'd be driven with a Pass X-250.8, BHK250 pre, Aurender N10, Lampizator Atlantic SE ...
Thanks
