Lets hear it on the reactors! a marvel of engineering or just a downscaled phantom?

[eniriop]

I know there are some other threads out there on Reactor reviews etc. but I really wanted to get some early reactor adopters subjective and emotional gut responses. Is this a good/great/amazing speaker (stereo pending) or does it lack something with only 3 speakers?

Am thinking about loosing my single silver and going for 2 reactors.

Many thanks for your thoughts!

I have a pair of gold and they had a baby recently: a single reactor 600.  The sound is very similar to my hear at reasonable volumes. It sounds surprisingly linear from very low to very high frequency, with no audible distorsion or noise. If you want to listen upclose (on a desk) you have to lower the volume otherwise the highs sound harsh. From 2 to 10 meters aways the highs can disperse enough and they sound 95% as lively and velvety as a single mono gold phantom, though probably not as extended and precise  in the highs.
I  listen to them in my study and on my terrace and swimming pool. They sound best outdoor as there is no room reflection creating bumps in the lower mids. The amount and dynamic range is just as realistic as a live concert, if you turn them at a realistic (live) volume of a small jazz band. The bass extension and "muscle" even when listening outdoor is unbelievable: they really rock because the rythmic line (bass and drum) sound so "live". Nothing compares for this size (3 liters and 4kgs). It's the ideal "pool party" tool, where stereo does not matter much (suppose you have a small jazz or folk band 10 meters away: it does not sound "stereo" to your hears, does it ?
Of course, when stereo comes, a pair will sound even more amazing when listening in a small room from 2 to 5 meters away (because that is when you lack the stereo effect with a mono reactor), just like their bigger parents since their DNA inside is the same...
