| Thiel Owners LOL. Turned out somehow (I don't know how) the thread sorting had switched from "oldest first" to "newest first" which is why all the new posts weren't appearing to me at the end. Whew! Never mind.... | |
| Thiel Owners Uh oh.Anyone else experiencing weirdness with this thread? At least on my browser the posts now cut off at page 55 where the last posting date is early 2016. I hope it's only a glitch on my end and that we haven't lost all the subsequent posts! | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 I haven't heard the Blades much except at one audio show. I heard the most realistic presentation of piano that I've ever heard from a speaker! | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars markalarsen,So do I understand you are using the Perspectives without a subwoofer now?As for speakers: I find pretty much every speaker sounds better if the source, or associated equipment, is providing a better signal. Certainly every of the ver... | |
| Whatever I Did, It Worked. I've recently been playing around with a curved diffusor I bought from Acoustic Geometry:https://www.acousticgeometry.com/products/curve-diffusor/My room is well treated, and I can make it a bit more live or dead via moving some curtains. My Left... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars @markalarsen Thanks.Any reason you chose Perspectives vs Pulsars with a subwoofer?When I was shopping the JA speakers I wasn't thinking subwoofer (because I usually hate subs) but I'm giving some JL subs a go soon in my current set up with my Thie... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars @rlb61 Ha!We really are on the same wavelength. I just recently got my new Transrotor turntable up and running - my leap into high end vinyl playback - and last night my album of choice was...Regatta de Blanc! My old copy. It actually sounded incr... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars @rlb61 You mentioned your admiration for the Pulsar's cloth dome tweeter.I agree. It's special, or the implementation of that tweeter is, anyway.Though all the cliches about tweeters don't always hold true, in general I tended to find metal tweet... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars @markalarsen Since you've had both, could you give a bit of detail to compare the Pulsars vs the Perspectives?It's been a year since I demoed both. The first time I ever heard Joseph speakers was the Pearl 3 at the Montreal show last year, playin... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars The sapele is an amazing finish. Deep and luxurious. That's the pair I had in for demo. (Just didn't match my decor). I have to say I really enjoy audio-jewelry, where I look at an item with and think it's beautiful and adds to the room, rather ... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars @astewart8944 I would love to be able to grab a used pair of Perspectives, but I am committed to buying from my local Joseph Dealer. The finish I really want, that I would get custom, is either Macassar Ebony or Tiger Ebony. Not only are they d... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars @maralarsen,Ok, thanks for the clarification. Makes sense now. I'd love to have room (and budget) for Pearl 3s. But if I buy JA it would be the Perspectives.@astewart8944 I've been interested in owning the Perspectives since I demoed them at a... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" @edstrelow,That's one reason why I generally dislike exposed speaker drivers in speakers. When I see precisely what is generating the sound, my mind struggles to not "see" the sound coming from them. E.g. I hear drum cymbals and think "well, tha... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" Most speakers will disappear better if you:1. Pull them well out from the rear wall.2. Get closer to nearfield listening (7 feet or closer)3. Spread them wider apart (provided they have decent dispersion to keep center fill).4. Reduce toe in, hen... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars FYI:Stereophile just put up a new binaural video:https://www.stereophile.com/content/bed-stuy-ci%C2%B7n%C3%A9%C2%B7ma-v%C3%A9%C2%B7ri%C2%B7t%C3%A9Herb Reichert reviewing the Joseph Audio Pulsars! You can "hear" the Pulsars play in the video. It ... |
