The G1 MK2 is a REL sub of a very different category when compared to the S5 SHO / S3 SHO / Carbon series. You will be amazed what a single G1 can do that the others cannot ... i.e. the REAL Low Frequencies you will hear from the G1 (if correctly tuned-in) will simply extend downwards into the low bass region where your Main speakers left off ...
And about Devialet's SAM, trust me, average highend floorstanders will start to roll-off 30~35 Hz below AND This is where the RELs come in big time to cover all the way to 20Hz. Typically, a good REL sub should fill up the sub 20Hz to 40Hz region well and when it does, your room will aurally seem much larger without any hint of boominess !
I will go with the G1 anytime and you'll be surprised that only 1 will be sufficient when correctly positioned and setup. Good Luck !!
