I have a feeling the current “OK” state of low-volume listening is due to SAM. I’m going to try 3-6 sets of speaker cables to see if perhaps that is the extra nudge I need.(09-Feb-2019, 13:52)awkaplan Wrote:No, I didn’t audition the standmount models as I want floorstanders. The FS 407 and 409 are SAMed, but the .2 versions aren’t. I used the 407 SAM profile when I auditioned the 407.2 and it seemed to work fine, but I usually turn SAM off when I’m listening.(09-Feb-2019, 12:25)Axel Wrote: The Elac FS 407.2 performs superbly at low levels. I recently auditioned a pair and am considering replacing my Sonus Faber Olympica 2s with them.
Did you audition the bookshelf model as well? You have me digging. Hoping they’re SAMed!
Give the Elacs a try. I think you’ll like them.
