New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

Celo, yes for new ones not for the upgrade. 

Rereading I didn't  make that very clear did I 

From my correspondence  with Joseph Audio the upgrade to the Perspectives would be all new woofers and modified crossovers.  

Nice to see this thread back on track. I bought a pair of used Perspectives and sent them to JA for the upgrade which he assured me would make them indistinguishable in sonics from the new version 2. I have been reading about these speakers on various threads for about a year as well as professional reviews and it seems they got great accolades from all over. 

@nyaudio98  something is only to expensive if no one is willing to pay the price that doesn't seem to be the case here. 

Yes, he said to send them , for the Perspectives it's $3500.

OK JA speakers are way over priced and cheaper ones are a huge step up but after all its  MY money I have  wasted so get over it and move on. 

Not sure what is meant by the subjective impression other than if a speaker has a more detailed sound you will hear the music better which gives the impression the speaker is louder? I know it wasn't  the most cost effective  way of going about it but I bought used perspectives and after some back and forth with JA I  went ahead and sent them for the upgrade. When I bought them I wasn't  aware they had come out with the new version. Still saving a few thousand though. 

From my correspondence  he said the sensitivity  was slightly higher but the subjective  impression  is greater than the measured  difference.  They had a fuller, richer more detailed sound. 

I have the upgraded Perspectives and they leave me pretty twinkly as well. I know the crossovers were either replaced or modified in some way and Jeff said they would be indistinguishable in sonics from the new ones. I am not good with the hyperbole but these speakers are amazing and I only have them paired with a little Mac MA 252 integrated. Lyrics and acoustic  instruments  are  what impress me the most with these speakers. 

Since they  are upgraded  to  the  standard  of the new version why would  they  sound better  than the new version? 

Graphene coating on the Seas is to help prevent oxidation of the magnesium cone I don't think it improves the audio performance but the Seas graphene line also has a new driver. JA also tweaked the crossover. 

@prof , I apologize if this is wandering to far off topic but I was curious as to what amplifier you use with the Perspectives perhaps you've said but I missed it, and what they were using at the dealer with the Perspectives 2 ? 

Thanks,  I am using a McIntosh integrated with only 100W, low level listening at night is constrained was curious if a little more power would open them up a bit without having to turn them up. 

Probably the same, MA 252 tubes on the pre section SS on the power, though they have a new integrated out MA 352 200W. Kind of why I was wondering if I needed a little more power it's like the amp doesn't grab hold of them where they bounce along tight with ease in the bass while keeping the mids and highs open and pristine at lower listening levels. I used to have some Paradigms paired with an Anthem I225 I wish I kept that old amp. I see you talk about Thiel's. I live in Louisville they were in Lexington, a little shop here used to get the new model Thiel's pretty quick,  I think the guy who owned it knew him. I loved going there listening to them, never could afford them though, they always paired them with big Class'e mono blocks. 

Not sure what the current price is but last summer I had my Perspectives upgraded to the Graphene 2 the cost was $3750 plus shipping.
