About the Pulsar (v.1)
The Joseph Audio Pulsar speakers are a two-way mini-monitor design, featuring a 1-inch tweeter with a Sonatex dome and a 5.5-inch woofer with a cast-magnesium cone, both built to Joseph Audio's specifications by SEAS. They have a frequency response of 38Hz to 21kHz and an impedance of 8 ohms. The crossover is an asymmetrical infinite slope design at 2kHz. These speakers are praised for their ability to handle dynamic transients and provide a detailed, emotionally involving listening experience. They require a high-current amplifier to optimize their performance.
