JA Perspecitve Stereophile review
Atkinson's said his measurement indicated that "the Perspective's tweeter is balanced a little hotter than the Pulsar's, though its response is even overall."  Read more at https://www.stereophile.com/content/joseph-audio-perspective-loudspeaker-...

@erik_squires "But this is just one example of JA's biases."  You are referring to John Atkinson, not Joseph Audio, correct?

@prof I am referring to me hearing the Thiels at RMAF 
JA Perspecitve Stereophile review
@prof Room set up at RMAF and ten minutes of listening is not exactly the best approach to evaluate a speaker. Speakers and room interaction are critical. @astewart8944 I had the JA Perspectives, with dual 15” subs, in a horrible room using a DEQX...

New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening"
I have owned the Pulsars and now have a pair of Perspectives.  Wonderful speakers. As far as kits go, you do not understand cost accounting and, without a direct comparison, have no idea as to whether they sound as good as the JAs. Good luck if yo... 
Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars
