What exactly does the adjustment of the "amount" of SAM correction mean? I ask because I've found that while I did not like SAM for my Magico Q1 (increased amount of bass came at the expense of clarity), I find I like it at the 10% setting. This makes very little difference to the amount of bass, but I find it does still snap vocals into focus and increases soundstage depth.
As I understand it, SAM involves corrections in time and phase alignment of the drivers, as well as digital equalization below 150hz. While I understand how you can adjust the "amount" of bass correction, I'm not sure whether the same can be said for time/phase alignment.
So, if you have SAM set for a low "amount", are we still getting the full advantage of the time/phase alignment? Because perhaps that explains what I'm hearing on my Q1s...
