It's interesting isn't it. I asked the question many times to 3 or 4 Devialet representatives in Munich. Each time I got the same answer: there is no difference between SAM1 and SAM2.
Eventually one of the Devialet employees did concede that the algorithm in SAM2 was more efficient but at the same time it was made clear that this would not materially affect existing SAM users, myself included.
Since then almost conflicting messages from Devialet (for e.g. see the white paper that was issued at Munich), new v8 SAM profiles (does it matter that my Sashas aren't v8?) and then reports like the one we got from OAC.
Then we have all this anecdotal evidence from some Devialet users that the (SAM) behaviour of their speakers have changed since v8.
