@fleschler The fletcher Munson curve (ISO 226:2003) is the primary problem with low level listening. I have no scientific explanation why the perspective2s sound so much louder than the measured 2+ dB. I think this positively impacts lower level ...

BTW, I have owned the USHER AUDIO CP-8571 II DIAMOND.  It is a good speaker. The Perspective and the Perspective2 are significantly better. They are in a different league all together.

Back on track:  the horizontal off-axis response on the Perspective2s is excellent. My Perspective2s are in a large room used for multiple purposes. They sound great no master where you are sitting, standing or walking around. There sound-the-corn...

Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?

If you are impressed with the original Perspective, the Perspective2 may very well cover anything you thought was missing. I am listening right now to one of my wife’s playlists (pop) and love it. @prof

I would say significant improvement in the bass and, in the midrange a lesser improvement, but enough to make you very happy. @rlb61 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
I agree with both of you. @prof I am suggesting the Perspective2 respond well to the front end. The Conrad amps have always been well-regarded. Someday maybe I will convince you to upgrade you wires. You hit the bass improvement accurately. I am h...

There, however, is a kernel of truth here.  The Perspective2 are very responsive to upstream electronics and cables. I disagree with the old rules of spending half on speakers and the rest on electronics and cables. I am running more like 3 to 1 i...

My suggested approach is to ignore him. I become irritated when someone says the same thing more than once.

@prof You mean besides his grammar?
