Hi guys,
I want to share some thoughts to help some of the new guys who are conciderinf the reactor or the Phantom Silver in specific. I think that actually any of the phantoms apply to this.
First these things get Hot!! The reactor has its heat sink more exposed and there for you will notice it more. It gets hot to the point that I would not put this think within the reach of a small child as they could get hurt. Now they are suppose to modulate power output vs heat. The phantom Silver also get very hot but not as a bad and the reactor. I guess this is the trade off by going with something this powerfull in such a small package.
Audio
I can tell you there is a noticeable bass difference from the Reactor 600 to the 900.
But the jump from the Reactor 900 to the Phantom Silver is next level really. The punch you get at high volumes is unreal. Yes I know it’s lie another £600 but if you have a large room you will fell like you want bigger bass impact. Please don’t get me wrong the Reactor is crazy good FOR ITS SIZE.
Mono vs Stereo
Some of you might argue that 2 reactors are better than a single Silver. I would say this is more dependant of the size of your rom as the reactors might struggle to fill the room with banging bass and the kids are a little forced.
To wrap this up I want to say I’m not a audio specialist. But my ears are very good at noticing the sound differences and I can tell you if you have space and want volume you need to go with the phantoms.
Not sure you need to go with the Golds tho. Them things are bound to get stupid hot and you will be able to cook your breakfast on them.
