SAM effects

[Rusken]

I have to say that having been living with SAM for the last week or so I really can't emphasis how impressive it is, I have been running the 200 on the Venere 2.5's and have done a few demo's now and everyone is quite astonished at the difference, yes the bass definitely has more control with more impact but in turn that free's up the mid range which really helps bring it into the room, once you turn SAM off everything just sounds a little flat and less defined. I don't know if I said it before but a SAM'd Venere 2.5 definitely outperforms a non SAM's Venere 3.0 which makes it quite interesting.

If I was a speaker manufacturer I would be knocking down Devialet's door to make sure that my speakers were SAM'd asap as I can really see people who are buying a Devialet with speakers now will only choose SAM'd speakers, its the only decision really. I do wonder what the Venere 2.5 profile will sound like with the 3.0's, I wonder if it can do any damage?

For our Devialet/Sonus Faber open day next weekend we will be running the Venere 2.5's with and without SAM if anyone would like to hear the differences.

Cheers,
Paul.

Hi Paul! You raised an interesting question as I have the Venere 3.0 (Devialet 120) and I am also a HiFi novice and in addition not a very patient person Will Sam for 2.5 improve 3.0 or is it better to wait until 3.0 is Sam ready? Do I get improvement? Do I risk anything? Anyone?

Best regards
