Thanks for chiming in @jpremm Wow, 18 inches off the rear wall seems like fairly close for the Perspectives. Good to hear they work well for you. You mention upgrading to the newest version of the Perspectives. Did you purchase brand new Perspective Graphenes? Or did you send your Perspectives in for the graphene upgrade?
I'm planning on sending my original Perspectives to Jeff Joseph at some point for the graphene upgrade so I'm wondering what differences you heard when you upgraded.
Thanks. |
"Harsh" is just about the last word to describe Joseph speakers. This is a case where the unanimous reviews have it right, where they basically all note how smooth, unmechanical and hash-free the Joseph Pulsars sound. It would be even moreso likely with the Graphene version (if they follow the Graphene Perspectives in flattening the very highest frequencies some more). I have very sensitive ears and my Joseph Perspectives are just about the smoothest sounding speaker I've ever heard. |
Interesting rlb61 where you the one a while back who switched to the graphene Pulsars and found the bass too big in your room? I auditioned the Perspective graphene and the bass was a bit too much, but they weren’t set up well - too close together and near the back wall so I couldn’t get an idea of how they perform in the bass. Midrange and highs were fantastic |
mozartfan, Although Joseph is emphasizing the "graphene" in the name, apparently it's really the re-design of the rest of the driver including motor etc that brought improvements, leading Joseph to also re design his crossover. So it's quite plausible they sound different, and perhaps improved (even if it came from tweaking of the crossover). The Perspective Graphene model does measure different from the original - highs are a bit more flat. |
