Andy,My ears agree with yours.If I had to generalize from what I hear in the Thiel first order upper frequencies vs many of the high order speakers, I’d agree with what you wrote: perfectly integrated in the Thiels. I simply can not "hear out" the...

astewart,I'm pretty close, but I'm holding off pulling the trigger until  I figure a couple things out.mapman, I didn't quite follow your last post.IMO:  The Joseph Perspectives have a disappearing/soundstaging/imaging act that can remind me of th...

Interesting to hear twoleftears.  Thanks for that feedback. 
HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
I haven't sold on audiogon for quite a while, but I've sold about 6 items in the last year with no problem (canuckaudiomart).I listed my MBL 121 monitors last night and they were literally sold in five minutes.  And within a couple hours I had 10 ...

dvdboulet,Thiel 2.7Also Spendors, some other older Thiels, Hales, Waveform....I’m promiscuous with speakers :-)

Heh, I just set up the MBLs because the buyer wants to listen before buying. I played some stuff and thought "what am I crazy? These are insane!" But...they just don’t end up getting as much play in my system as they deserve, and ultimately a pair...

I auditioned some other floor standing speakers today - Spendor D7s.Meh.All it did was remind me the Thiels are sooooo good!   The Thiels have such a huge, chunky, rhythmic sound with incredibly imaging yet (especially with my CJ amps) an organic ...

It's looking more like I will have some Perspectives in my early future.Local dealers are selling off their demo models.  I have money left over from selling my Thiel 3.7 speakers and I just listed my MBL 121 monitors.  They literally sold in 5 mi...

TIME TO ADD ANOTHER SPEAKER AUDITION:SPENDOR D7.Well, as detailed in earlier posts, last year I’d settled on the Joseph Perspectives and was about to purchase when life took a rough turn making it impossible.I’ve been crawling out of that hole all... 
Why don't Joseph Audio Pearls get more love from the audio press?
I've wondered that out loud too.  The Pearls have garnered best of, or among best of show among a wide range of audio reviewers (and showgoers) for years, and it's strange they have never been reviewed.Seems to me, given the stratospheric prices o...

I had the Morado because I couldn't find it in ebony (which is a perfect match for my room, as are the 2.7s I have in ebony).  I was actually going to get the Morado re-finished in another ebony-like color, but ended up selling the 3.7s. 
Thiel Owners
Heads up! A pair of 3.7s just hit Audio mart if anyone is interested! Oh man, I always wanted a pair of 3.7s in ebony!!!Someone will be awfully lucky to get those.The 3.7s are still probably the best over all speaker I've ever owned. 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
i haven't heard any speakers from JA since my dealer did not stock them and said they're overprice for their sound. Yeah, dealers often say that kind of thing about products they don't sell ;-) 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
gochurchgoI don’t feel qualified to make any definitive claim about the Pulsars rocking or not. I auditioned them once or twice a couple years ago, but moved on strictly to auditioning the floor standing Perspectives after that.That said, it depen... 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
verdant,Would that JA-like speaker be the Bambusa MG 1 listed on your web site?In any case, I had the JA Perspective speakers at my home for an audition a couple of years ago. While they have a reputation for fine detail, I actually found my Thiel...
