New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

Just wanted to update my prior thread where this topic may have gotten lost.  As many of you may know by now, Joseph Audio has come out with the new Pulsar Graphene 2. This new iteration of the venerable Pulsars has a graphene coated magnesium midrange-woofer cone, and the drive motor, suspension system, etc., have been revamped. From what I have been told, the upgrade is pretty significant ... the sound is fuller and has greater ease, yet is very resolved. Jeff Joseph advises that an upgrade path will be available for existing owners of the Pulsars, too. Also, note that the price quoted in the Soundstage piece was in Canadian dollars ... Jeff informs me that the price in USD is $8,999 per pair. I am eager to hear the new Pulsars.

I have found that the expensive speakers are, at times, a little too honest and revealing of what you are feeding them... including the quality and mastering of the recording/source.  So if your media isnt top notch the expense is wasted and actually detracts from the overall enjoyment and perception.

So yes, less expensive speakers can “sound” considerably better than their more expensive counterparts.

Anyone who cant agree with that is fooling themselves and doesnt understand as much, or has experienced as much, as they think they do.
