I then put aside the comparison and listened to the Reactors on their own. My conclusion was that I could easily live with the Reactors, even though I was an owner of a pair of Golds.
The Reactors are value for money. For me, a pair of Reactors if my budget could not stretch to Golds.
One thing to possibly note.
I've heard the Golds with digital room correction and they sounded phenomenal.
Digital room correction needs some digital headroom.
The reactors are rated at 98dB max, so lets say you need 10dB headroom for DSP, you are down to 88dB max from the speakers.
I think the Phantom Classic is good value, considering they are rated at 106 dB, So with 10dB headroom, you still have 96dB range to play with. Good for dynamics.
If not using digital room correction then I guess none of the above matters.
Will be interesting what comes in February, per Devialet's teaser.
