Cheaper with SAM vs. more expensive without?

[wiresandmore]

Thanks for the replies guys - yes, it is an interesting issue, and I've been wondering should I go for cheaper speakers to try to fund the offer on the 2nd amp which seems to be on in the UK and therefore I assume in the Eurozone too.

Also, I feel I *have* to focus on the SAM-ready (or likely SAM-ready) range which does constrain my options a bit. I would expect they will do all B&W, Sonus Faber, Magico, the main French brands [Focal etc], along with some exotica.
