Joseph Audio Perspective next steps

I did have a little audition of the P2 graphene model at my dealers.  Unfortunately they were set up too close to the back wall so the bass was overblown, which was a bummer, as that apparently is where the new version is improved most.

Aside from that, I did *think* I apprehended an even more sophisticated midrange/high end than the original perspectives, maybe a bit more clarity too.   But hard to truly tell under the circumstances.

One person in the long JA Perspective Graphene thread here upgraded his Perspectives to the graphene (or traded up) and was completely thrilled.  Said the 1s were great, but the 2s are true destination speakers.

I can't afford under current circumstances to have mine upgraded, but I plan to when I can.

A dealer I am in touch with told me that the Perspective 2's would be too small for my listening room, which is 26 x 15 x 8. I cannot see my way to the Pearls.

What do others think about this comment by the dealer? I suspect they just don't have the Perspectives and are trying to up-sell me or make me go away.

@prof Any thoughts?

@hilde45 I have a dedicated listening room close to your size 16 x 28 x 12 and use the Perspective2's with great success. They fill the space no problem and I tend to listen on the loud side (says my better half). I do listen mostly to vinyl and like jazz, electronic and 60's, 70's and 80's did I say I listen LOUD! :-) 

(JA dealer disclaimer)

@hilde45 I think that’s utter crap.  If you’ve ever heard the Perspectives you know that just like with the Pulsars they punch way above their weight ant the problem is usually the room is to small.  Maybe @goldprintaudio can chime in as I think he’s a JA dealer.

Thanks for chiming in. This dealer [I'll omit their name and place of business] said that he didn't think the Perspective2's were "a good choice for your large room." I asked why and told him that Jeff Joseph himself (in an email to me) had said they would be fine. He replied, "Every company thinks all their equipment will work fine. Sometimes they are wrong. It's a very fine very small speaker. Very small."

I don't see my room as particularly large nor the Perspectives as particularly small. This sounds to me like disinformation. I have tried the Ascend towers, the Focal 936, the Martin Logan Motion 60's in this room and they filled the room with sound. 

My sense is that this dealer is trying to either up-sell me or just discourage me from bothering him.
