Pros:<\/b>\u00a0spacious and beautiful sound<\/p>\n

Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0could use a little more bass<\/p>\n

Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0entrance ticket to the world of luxury<\/p>\n

The updated Joseph Audio Perspective2 sports a SEAS dome tweeter and 5.5″ SEAS Excel Graphene drivers (magnesium diaphragms coated with a layer of nano-graphene).\u00a0The acoustics provide the widest dynamic range and outstanding stereo imaging, clearly demonstrating what High End is all about.<\/p>\n

7. Alta Audio Adam<\/h3>\n

Price \u2013 17,000 US dollars<\/i><\/p>\n

Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0requires powerful amplification<\/p>\n

Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0very interesting speakers<\/p>\n

Three-way speakers with ribbon tweeters, 6″ and 8.75″ midrange and bass drivers with aluminum diaphragms use the Alta Extended Transmission Line (XTL) system for both mid and low frequencies!\u00a0It is necessary to take into account the significant discrepancy between the passport sensitivity characteristics (stated 91.5 dB) and the actually measured ones (84 dB) – so the speakers will be very voracious before amplification.\u00a0But if you choose a great partner, they will charm you with their scale of sound.<\/p>\n

Another market milestone that has collected all possible prizes is the Paradigm Persona 5F floorstanding units.\u00a0It’s rare to see speakers that justify every cent invested in every sense.\u00a0The purest, open sound with fundamental bass, complete genre omnivorousness and incredible dynamics – you can sing praises for a long time.\u00a0Beryllium drivers on the high and midrange work wonders, and three 7\u201d woofers easily cope with the fortissimo of the \u201c1812\u201d.\u00a0The sensitivity of Paradigm Persona 5F is 88 dB.<\/p>\n
