More of a luxury item than an audiophile speaker

This item is overpriced. For €600 that would be reasonable. The sound is just ok. It's better than the Apple HomePod, but way behind the KEF LSX, which is just $100 more. I think it would be a cool house party speaker but that's about it. Looks good, moves with the bass and gets louder. I see it more as a luxury item than an audiophile product. You pay extra for style and marketing.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • embarrassing

I'm glad I bought it!

Update 2/13/20 - I now have two for stereo pairing and it's more amazing than I could have imagined! I am very happy with these little speakers that sound so great! I love listening to them. I am addicted! I have never owned a Devialet Phantom speaker. They are very expensive and now that I have one I can understand why. Wow just wow! Before I bought it, I did a little research and noticed one thing straight away: people either love or hate this column. Although I was hesitant to get it, I…

Incredible sound - Incredible customer service

Great sound and really incredible for its size. I have a high end main system from Martin Logan, Pass Labs etc and am an audiophile with 40 years of experience. To be honest I had my doubts given its size but was pleasantly surprised. The initial setup was very easy and up and running within 5 minutes. Incredible build quality. Definitely give it at least 10 hours of music before listening seriously as it was fairly flat when it first started up, but as we listened you could hear the bass…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

First instant delight, then great disappointment

This unit is definitely unconventional in the sense that it produces an incredible amount of crystal clear sound at any volume in such a compact package. Bass response is certainly remarkable given its size. After a month of joy, I finally bought the Devialet Phantom Gold. I suppose you can call the Reactor a drug gateway to the realm of phantoms :)) It's worth noting that it's pretty important to consider where to place it and where to sit/stand while listening as it seems differ from spot…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Immediate pleasure at first, then great disappointment

This unit is definitely unconventional in the sense that it produces an incredible amount of crystal clear sound at any volume in such a compact package.

I guess you can call the Reactor a drug gateway into the realm of phantoms :)) It's worth noting that it's pretty important to consider where to place it and where to sit/stand while listening to how it appears to make one…

To be honest I had my doubts given its size but was pleasantly surprised. The initial setup was very easy and up and running within 5 minutes. Incredible build quality.

Pros
  • Portable Speakers & Docking Stations
Cons
  • Something Different
