Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls?

Yes, the Joseph speakers use traditional drivers.

But I note that they continue to get into many people’s “ best of show” lists despite the fact, they are competing against the latest and greatest from other companies.

A lot of people report that hearing the Joseph speakers is like a form of “ relief” in terms of how smooth and natural and easy to listen to they are, despite being highly detailed.

That’s my experience as well, as someone who owns Joseph Perspectives.

My buddy reviews, high-end audio equipment, so I get to hear lots of the latest stuff.

I’ve been able to come home from listening to expensive Estelon diamond  speakers, Dali Epicore etc and flick on my system and like what I hear on my system even more. 

there’s a combination of detail, clarity with a rich, relaxed unmechanical quality That the Joseph speaker is just nail.

+1 @soix 

Some speakers may have a clear upgrade path, like moving up Sonus Faber’s or Magico’s product line.  Others, seems it’s not so clear/easy like musical speakers like Joseph Audio or Devore O/96

not biased at all its called an opinion and joseph uses conventional drivers in our opinion there are other better driver technology

rsf507 no we have plenty of Morals there are plenty of over hyped brands that we wouldn't  care to sell. 

prof many expensive setups are not necessarily well setup while your setup may by  be superior 

we don't sell  Kharma or Marten yet  we recommended them

Soix  quite frankly we don’t see that at all people will go to theses shows and draw their own conclusions 

some people will hear our speakers and not like them its called an opinion
