Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
@thr1961 Nice! So it seems you’ve mostly settled on trying the Perspectives in your home? I’m curious about your waiting for wood finish photos. I think you can find photos of the Perspectives in the three main finishes, or are you waiting for ... 
Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home
Just relating my own experience: For the most part I have tended to buy speakers second hand to try out, sell them if I don’t like them or tire of them. However I have had a few in home auditions. One, long ago were Von Schweikert VR 4 Gen 2 spe...

I don't disparage those three singers/musicians at all.  They are all talented. Nor would I disparage anyone who enjoys their music!  Not at all! I just grew out of listening to music based on it's audiophile cred and more because it made my sys... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
@thr1961    I'm guessing you haven't listened to the Joseph speakers yet.  But I'm wondering: Will you be auditioning both the Pearls and Perspectives?   If so, will you be able to do a sort of side-by-side comparison?   Are you leaning toward ...

wouldnt that be awesome if they - toured together - tell me it wouldnt be sold out every night they played.    No thanks. Being an audiophile - and attending shows/auditioning gear at dealers - completely turned me off that triumvirate of sin... 
Conrad Johnson upgrades - Anyone doing?
  @russellrcncom  I can't speak to the pre-amp upgrades but in terms of the CJ amp upgrades I have some experience. I was very curious about the Teflon cap upgrades for older CJ amps.  I have had my CJ premier 12s for over 20 years but wondered... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  As for the Audio Note speakers I heard:  It was in the same store as the Source Point 10s.  They were set up in a pretty small room, fairly typical AN style, closer to the back wall, angled towards the listening seat.  Powered by Peach Tree am... 
Why Don't you hear more about Audio Physics Speakers??
The Joseph speakers are slim floorstanding speakers that cast a walk-in-to-it soundstage like the AP speakers, but have a more pure tone and also, for their size, kick more *ss than the AP.   As John Atkinson put it in his review of the Joseph Per... 
Why Don't you hear more about Audio Physics Speakers??
I generally agree that if you are looking for thickness,weight, slam then Audio Physic speakers aren't the go-to speakers.  That's one of the main reasons I didn't keep the Virgos after a home audition - too polite and soft with high energy music.... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
I actually had the vibe that the SP10s might be a speaker I’d like to own...along with ones I already own. In fact that was one motivation for listening to them, not out of dissatisfaction with my speakers (Thiel 2.7 and Joseph Audio Perspectives)... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
Happy to, nonoise. From my relatively brief audition in answer to the question "Are these the Giant Killers some hope them to be?" I'd say well...yes and no. No in the sense that I wasn't thinking 'wow, that's spectacular sound' like I have from... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Since this thread tends to collect my various speaker impressions, I'm pasting in what I wrote about hearing the new Mo-Fi Source Point 10 speakers here as well:   ------------------------- Source Point 10s: The SP10s were in a dedicated room,... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
Ok I'm just going to paste what I wrote in another forum, from my listening session with the Source Point 10s: ------------------------------------------   Source Point 10s: The SP10s were in a dedicated room, I'm guessing maybe 12' wide by ma... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Wise words fsonicsmith! I actually wrote my impressions of the SP10s in another forum.  My fingers are typed out.  I'll get one here (or in the SP10 thread) soon.  
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  To finish off the above... Quite a while ago I'd bought a curved diffusor to play around with:     I wanted to try diffusion for a sidewall reflection point rather than the absorbtion (heavy velvet) I'd been using.  Turned out I didn...
