So I finally tried out Raidho D1 SAM on my Raidho D2s with my D400 (since there is only a couple votes for the D2s...oh well). First of all, let me disclose I'm using two REL 528s. With that being said, I immediately noticed a huge bump up in bass and had to readjust sub levels and even bring town the bass tone to -3.0 on the Devialet.
Here is the interesting part....I experimented by taking SAM down to 0% and crossed my subs slightly down to 32hz and kept them at 0 phase. Even with turning SAM off and on, I still noticed a difference and actually now prefer SAM on. Can't tell the subs are there unless i turn them off. Sound is less harsh at higher volumes and seems very balanced.
Now, I'll probably be going back to the drawing board once I get my Audioprana RCA to AES/EBU connect cable to replace the stock Crystal cable.
