A good spot! I'd be fascinated to hear what the B&W 800D's are like with SAM. I did audition a pair a while ago, they were vey impressive but I thought the bass was a little "polite". Bass extension was there, and much detail in the bass. But it was a bit like they were asking, "would Sir like to hear some bass detail now"? Rather than kind of throwing it at you. Sorry to sound like a bass-head here! I do know my extension from my boom! But SAM is aimed at the low frequency side of things, and I have a suspicion that the 800's with SAM might be rather good. For me, the Blades have been in about third spot in the "SAM soon" section for a while now. Those Devialet guys are such a tease!:
