Regarding Joseph Audio Pulsar Loudspeakers

I am building a new 2 channel rig and I have all my components except for a pair of loudspeakers.  I want to concentrate on stand mounted speakers and the Pulsar's seem intriguing.  Anyone have experience with these or others that may be great contenders for under $10K? 
Primarily analogue listening. My mono blocks will drive any load.
Thanks

I haven't heard the Pulsars but out of all the stand mounted, and even some floor standing speakers, presented at the NY Audio show, I was completely blown away by Sonner Allegro Unum speakers. The tonality, soundstaging, and transparency was incredible. Listed for $10K a pair.

As I'm sure you already know, to get good sound out of these or any other high end small speakers requires amplifiers that can handle very low impedance loads. What are your upstream components?

My pre-amplifier is a vintage Precision Fidelity C-4 Dual Cascode valve model that has been completely serviced. It has phono inputs that are very quiet with enormous gain. The mono blocks that I am planning to use are a pair of EKSC 11 prime's. They will drive virtually any impedance load with great musicality.
Thank you for your recommendation of the Sonner Allegro Unum stand mounted loudspeakers.

Are you living with the Wilson Benesch Vertex loudspeakers?

perazzi28,

I am not living with the Wilson Benesch Vertex, I have heard them many  times including a listening session yesterday with their big brother the Vector.

If I ever upgrade from my current speakers the ACT ONE is on my short list.

My current system is posted here if you want to see it.

At that budget, it is worth listening to Devores.
