I also had LS50s at home for a weekend, but this was before SAM (actually before I upgraded my D-Premier). In addition LS50s were only partly broken in. I modified the cross over for the Q300 and got very good results, but with the reflex port in front and a less than ideal cabinet I had to move on.Couple photos of my set-up. Wife loves it.
The LS50s have a transparency in the midband that Q300 could never achieve, even with the best possible network components. I doubt that LS50 can give me the bass I want, even with SAM.
Reports for Devialet's Ensemble describe just what I'd like. A combination of my 250 and SAM'ed GT1s seems just right.. white GT1s on white Atacama Nexus 700mm stands = very high acceptance factor
