I listened to the Pulsars several times at the Rock Mtn Audio Fest 2009. They are absolutely amazing. Superb.
In a system comprising Bel Canto amplification and Cardas cabling, with the front-end Jeff's laptop sending data to the Bel Canto DAC One via a Bel Canto USB link, the sound of Jean Guillou's organ transcription of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition exhibited extraordinarily powerful low bass, considering the speaker's modest dimensions. Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways" revealed an uncolored, natural midrange.
Price is still to be decided, but will be around $7000/pair, Jeff told me.
Do you know any of the specifics yet, like impedance sensitivity, etc.? Dimensions? Is it a ported design? I'm looking for something a bit more tube friendly and something that can handle my turntable better than current ported bookshelf which does not like that bass reflex port!!
Just heard these at the show in Montreal. Of all the thousands of products being demonstrated, these speakers completely etched my memory. Easily THE most impressive speakers I have seen in many years. I have no clue how they are engineered however they produce the most incredible spectrum my ears have ever been exposed to. Wow seems like such a useless word. People were really talking about these jewels. Amazing job!!!!!
