| Got a BAT VK-225se ... Holy Moly! What's your reason for selling? | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 That would bring the total cost to $10K (i.e., $7,700 list plus $2,300 for the upgrade). Yikes! It's likely cheaper to buy a brand new pair and sell the existing ones. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @djones51 ... is Jeff doing the upgrades already? What was the price for upgrading your Perspectives? | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 "Too expensive" is a relative term. I listened to A LOT of different speakers before I bought the Pulsars. The Pulsars and the rest of the JA line sounded the way I like to hear music. As a musician, I know how instruments should sound, and the Pu... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @markalarsen ... very glad to learn that you are satisfied with the new Perspectives. I am really curious to hear the new Pulsars to see whether there is a "need" to upgrade my originals or whether the point of diminishing returns has been reached... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @soix ... I'm not necessarily sure that reworking the xover in that way is such a good thing. The original Pulsars have a liveliness which is very seductive. Eliminating that may not be an improvement. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 As the OP here, I find it mindboggling that my thread about the new Pulsars has devolved into a retailer's defense of products he sells as well as extolling the purported virtues of Jersey City (Bleh!). Can we now all simply play nice in the sand... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Gotta admit ... that's a good analogy. | |
| Need to replace a BAT VK200 amp with a smaller and lighter but with equal sound quality. @sunnyjim ... here’s the link https://balanced.com/p-vk-225seI just got one, and think it sounds awesome. Also, it’s lighter and smaller than the VK-200. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @audiotroy ... I guess the definition of "real music" is in the ears of the listener. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @audiotroy ... With all due respect, to me, synergy in audio concerns compiling a system having similar sonic attributes between components. It’s a challenge, but is very doable, and it sounds great when achieved. This differs markedly from collec... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 "We could have gotten better sound with warmer cables (sic) AQ does not a good match make with these components."There ya have it. That appears to be an admission that tone controls are required for those particular high priced components. Audio e... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I read it differently. Perhaps Mark can provide clarification. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @markalarsen ... in what way do you prefer the original Pulsars over the Graphene 2 Pulsars? Since you appear to like the Graphene 2 Perspectives over the originals, why wouldn't the same be true of the newer Pulsars? | |
| Need to replace a BAT VK200 amp with a smaller and lighter but with equal sound quality. I would get a BAT 225se. At 150 wpc, it's plenty powerful, and the sound is superb. |
