Is Reactor 600 high end?

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.

Hi! 

I'm waiting for the Feb news - deciding between Reactor 900 and Phantom Classic.

Waiting for black Classics to be announced - hoping no price increase though :-)

I already use Audiolense XO with DIY DSP speakers (ripped out the passive crossover and now use 10 channel Focusrite 18i20Gen3).

And I would of course use it with the Phantoms !

Just a question, why use Audiolense XO but then also use Roon's parametric EQ?

Whatever you're doing in Roon EQ, just do the same to do the target curve in Audiolense?

To make sure time alignment is all preserved?
