What % were you running SAM?
Pretty much 100% but it sounded good, no room problems. This is way better. But I'll probably switch it back on when I play electronic music.
It's funny but Paul Miller had this to say about SAM on the O d'A:
“With SAM, of course, the amplifier is programmed to take the loudspeaker to its limits, but never beyond, and yet the performance was just a little freer, more refreshing with SAM removed from the configuration. Bass, you see, is neither in short supply or under-damped with this hugely capable incarnation of ADH in the driving seat.”

Same revelation until I realized that the large % value was the real root of the problem for me. I'm now happy with 20%.
When you turn it back on set a toggle button and try much lower %, <=30
