| 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 ... | |
| Thiel Owners jon_5912,As I think I detailed somewhere in this thread, I didn't have the luck I hoped using the speaker level inputs on JL Audio Subwoofers for my Thiel 2.7s. It seemed to such a bit of life out of the dynamics, transients, and also darkened th... | |
| Coherent Speakers from Canada At the last TAVES I heard the tiny Coherent speakers being played - some sort of prog/jazz thing with heavy slap bass if I remember properly. They were fairly astounding in terms of the size of the sound, imaging, impact and clarity. They were r... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" @kosst_amojanThe two biggest factors in whether a speaker images well are how inert the cabinet is and the space around it. I’ve heard speakers from the "let the cabinet resonate" school do excellent disappearing acts.In fact I once had the Shun M... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars I just noticed markalarsen mentioned he has the Perspectives, so maybe not a drive-by as I suggested. I'm still interested in anything negative he has heard about the Pearls, as that was a most unusual comment. | |
| Thiel Owners Folks,I plan to put my Thiel 3.7s up for sale soon, and as I'm just starting to research pricing I wondered if I could get some feedback. Mine are close to mint (had them refinished) in the Morado finish. Any suggestions on a list price?I plan t... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars Btw, I just had the opportunity to purchase, at a very good price, the Joseph Audio Perspective speakers used at the Montreal Audio Fest.As much as I really want a pair of the Perspectives, I know that any speaker I buy I may end up selling, and I... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars I think markalarsen was a "drive by." I doubt he will be back to support his comment. | |
| Personas....7F vs 9H audiotroy,Whereabouts do you like to crossover to the JL Subs when you use them (e.g. with the Personas)? |
