Bottom line 7.1.3 still has better soundstage depth and much more musical midrange. 8.1.2 with the custom SAM 2 config had bass to die for. I can believe the SAMMed Jamo response curves which show response down to 16 hz and TIGHT, theres no doubt they don't get down to 16hz due to the room, but everything from around 40hz down was awesome. However, for my taste, the midrance/top end of 8.1.2 was a little more forward, less relaxed and less presence. As a consequence the soundstage was much more forward. More digital for want of a better term.
If I could have the midrange/top end from 7.1.3 with the bass response of corrected SAM 2. I would never leave the house!
Do you know if the custom SAM 2 profile was produced with SAM lab?
