I've been running the Reactor 900 for the past 5 days or so.
I would say that the Wired review is pretty spot on actually (apart from obvious inaccuracy)! It does the bass thing extraordinarily well, lots of impact there. It plays very loud although I find it loses some of its composure at higher volumes. I do find that it sounds a little congested at times (particularly with more complex music) and wondered if this was due to it being brand new. Hopefully Devialet know what they are doing and this will be addressed with future firmware updates and of course stereo playback which I imagine will take things up a peg or two!
Anyway still early days here, will report back more when I've had a bit more time with it.
