Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
@rsf507  That's great! It's always nice when other people seem to hear what I hear. Yeah, that purity of tone!  I wrote in my other thread about listening to an Emily Barlow track with piano, vocals and other instruments, and the authenticity o...

Really?  Her whole style is built on her idiosyncratic phrasing.  
patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole
Sometimes when I’m reading a book and listening to music, whenever I reach for the remote to move to a different song, it’s always Holly Cole. Don’t know what’s about her music but I can’t stand to listen to her for more than 30 seconds. It's h... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
soix, Three weeks ago I dropped my Perspectives to my dealer, who was going to get them to the importer, who was going to ship them to Joseph Audio.  I understand they have been shipped Dec 15.  No word or estimate directly from Joseph Audio, but... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
  @disc  I vividly remember testing Rush's 2112 on the original perspectives and the Perspective 2.   The way those speakers untangled the layers of guitar so effortlessly, including that shimmering/ringing tone of Lifeson's guitar (also on Hemi... 
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....
