System advice

I found Pulsar 1 for about 4300 USD but without front covers/grill. Also found Pulsar 2 for for about 6600 USD with front covers and guarantee till 2027. Damn!

There doesn’t seem to be as big of a difference between the original and Pulsar 2 as with the Perspectives, and some even seem to prefer the original so I’d have no problem going with the original Pulsars and save the $$$.  Once you hear them you may feel no need for the upgrade, and I probably wouldn’t even bother doing it as the originals are so good.  The Perspectives are a different matter as the improvements in the Graphine version are more significant.  You can probably order Pulsar grills from JA and certainly worth checking into, but I’d negotiate with that seller for a lower price to recoup at least some of that cost if possible.  Sitting 4 meters from them isn’t a problem, but not knowing your room size it’s hard to say if they’re enough for your room, but if the Platinums were ok then the Pulsars should be fine too as they put out considerable bass for their size as you’ve probably seen from reviews.  The ProAc K1 is worth looking into if Pulsars are hard to find as it likely offers similar sound characteristics — just another potential option.  Hope this helps. 

Thanks, you helped a lot. I've sent a message to JP asking about price and possibility of buying these grills, but I guess I won't get any reply soon enough :)

Update :)

JP Pulsars will be delivered in a week. I’ve got them on a reduced price because of no grilles. The grilles I will order directly from JP. I talked to Jeff, great guy.

It's really tempting me now to complete my audio equipment: order Lampi Big7 with preamp and connect it to my Naim or Arcam power amp... Then in some future splurge on a better amp. How bad idea is it?

Lampi+Pulsars seem like a great musical combo, opposite of cold/sterile
