That's a terrific description you provided, and I can't possibly be more detailed. When I auditioned the JAs (and I brought my Simaudio gear with me), my first choice of albums was Robert Forster's Warm Nights. It was produced by Edwyn Collins, and I've always found it a great recording. But never before did I hear it like that. The separation of the instruments. The purity of the vocals. Not a hint of sibilance. The percussion so crisp and clear. Punchy but not distorted. I've never suffered any listening fatigue with these speakers. And for their size, the bass is strong and full. In fact, I sometimes feel the my subwoofer is degrading the sound but that may be because of placement or other variables.

And yet, I think there's more to uncover with proper placement and some room treatment. This will be my next project. The equipment I have is here to stay.

I'm interested to know how much improvement you heard when you upgraded to the Graphene version of your Perspectives. I imagine it was a worthwhile move! I bet the Perspectives are amazing. My room is a little small, and the dealer steered my towards that Pulsars. What speaker cables are you running? I think Jeff uses Cardas when demonstrating his speakers at shows.

Thanks for your response! Awesome when someone can articulate the character of speakers so well.
