Also other speaker that are not sam ready and dons't look they ever will (e.g. ML Montis) they still sound great with Devialet.
Good point about the ML Montis. I have ML Vantage speakers and would only ever consider going for another pair of MLs - SAM or no SAM.
The speed and imaging properties of electrostatics are more important to me than SAM.
I feel the same. I've heard lots of electrodynamic (cone) speakers with Devialet, some with SAM, others not. I know my Montis will never get SAM, but no way would I go back to cone speakers for the sake of SAM.
Tomorrow I'm getting a 200 "Companion" on home demo plus a Sanders Magtech power amp. Should be an interesting three-way shoot-out: D200 vs D400 vs Magtech.

What source are you going to use with the Magtech?
