Cheaper with SAM vs. more expensive without?

[rik]

Although the bass "boost" / correction of SAM is only available below 150Hz I believe, rather like Linn's Exakt tech, that there is phase correction(*) going on at all frequencies.

And yes, I would definitely ONLY get SAM speakers these days. My Atomh GT1's (Which I realize don't meet your requirements [White bookshelf]) are significantly improved by SAM.
