Provided that RAAT supports up to 24/192 that is.You really don't need to boost the deep bass of the reactor 600. It is there (see the frequency response in my other post below). If placed not too close to the wall, and high enough on a stand or a shelf, they have a linear frequency response curve. The SAM technology is built in the reactors already, no need to boost any part of the frequency spectrum in my opinion.
I used a pair of modified Monitor Audio 201's for many years. The speakers sounded close to unlistenable 'au naturel', but with modifications, Audiolense XO filters in Roon's convolver and some parametric eq in the deep bass the sound quality was totally transformed. I was able to get a SAM profile for the speaker and was rewarded with even better sound quality. The resulting sound quality was quite stunning!
My hope is that I can 'transform' Reactors with the help of Audiolense to perform better. I am not expecting the same miracle I got with the MAs, but then the Reactor is a better speaker to begin with. I would probably get better result with a pair of Classic Premiers (or Golds), but the price difference is too big for my budget at the moment.
The chain will be Roon->EtherRegen (B->A)->Reactors. I'll report back on my journey.
