Great Monitors – Joseph Audio Pulsar ?

I have a pair. They sound better than almost anything I have ever owned, including speakers costing twice as much. I did not pay for component parts, but rather for music with my eyes shut and calculator turned off. Instead of analyzing the cost of the lacquer on the speakers, or the Cardas binding posts, listen to them; you may agree with me on just how remarkable they are.

Just to clarify: I have a pair of Pulsars.

Hope I'm not muddying the waters here. Curious, has anyone compared the Joseph Pulsar to the Coincident Triumph Extreme II? Is the Coincident in the same league?

The Pulsars are truly outstanding. I owned a pair for about 4 months, using them with a pair of subs, and with digital crossover and room correction courtesy of Lyngdorf. I've owned many fine speakers over the past 40 years, up to and including SoundLabs A-1PX. No speaker has engaged me in the music the way that the Pulsars did. Notice the past tense there. So, what did I do? Dumped 'em, dumped 'em like yesterday's newspaper. Why? To purchase their larger brothers, the new Perspectives! My listening room is very large at 32' X 15' X 9' (avg...it's vaulted). Even with the subs, the Pulsars could start to hit their limits at high volumes and/or large peaks. let me emphasize the words 'start to'. The upshot here is that if you're considering using them in a more mormal size room, go for it.

I'll lend a word of caution here. The quality of the mid and upper bass is so good that mediocre subwoofers need not apply.

And if anyone is looking for where Curriemt11 "dumped" his Pulsars, I just happen to have them! (traded them to me for his new Perspectives). If your interested in a pair and do not have a local Joseph dealer, let me know!
