I attended the NY Stereophile several times (when it was current a few years back, 2000-2005) and I always felt the Joseph audio room was among best of show with their floorstanders. A nice balanced sound with great texture and a sound I could easily live with permanently: lots of detail but never etched or bitter or piercing and very decent imaging.
It was my favorite among the similarly priced competitors each year. This year I heard the Pulsars at the Axpona show in NY, and I thought the floorstanders were superior in tonality and palpability and detail. I *think* one of the ones I heard were the 7s. Joseph always demo'd with Cardas cables, and I speculate that even better results could be had with higher level cables, but the Cardas/Joseph sound was certainly excellent.
