I own the Perspective2s and will decide if a review is accurate after I read it.  I think everyone who hears them will love them.

My opinions, however, are completely reliable, as long as your room is the same size, you set up the speakers correctly and you use the same electronics.

Interesting debate. I owned B&W 803Ds 20 years ago, too long ago to say anything meaningful about them now.  Whatever the reviewers say about them, I have heard the new models at shows, and they do nothing for me.  No review would make me cons...

I do not know if they were clear reservations or minor complaints. Stereophile rated them Class A with a lower bass restriction, higher than the comparable Focals.

Stereophile from Munich Audio 2019 on the Perspective2: This was my first sound demonstration at High End 2019, and it was a doozy: The soundstage was super-enormous and super-transparent. The bass was invisible until it appeared, and then it was ...

The bass is tighter, cleaner and better defined. I doubt this will present a problem for you, but I have no personal experience in that size room. Our room is 18’ x 35’ with 10’ ceilings.

My wife was listening to the new Perspective2s today, and I asked for her impression of the difference between the original Perspectives and the Perspective2s. Her reaction was more powerful and clearer.

In this price range, new, you should listen to the Ryan S610. In the used market, think about the Joseph Audio Pulsars.

@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...
