Joseph Audio Perspective2 loudspeaker

Five years ago, in our July 2014 issue,1 I reviewed Joseph Audio’s2 Perspective loudspeaker, a reflex-loaded, floorstanding, two-way design with two SEAS Excel magnesium-alloy–cone woofers and a SEAS Excel Millennium tweeter using a 1" Sonatex, impregnated-fabric dome.

It is also one of the more beautiful-looking speakers I have had in my listening room…. I can confidently recommend the Joseph Perspective. It’s a lot of high-performance loudspeaker in a beautiful, modest-sized, domestically appealing package.”
