Yes, could be the case, here.
I´ve the Dev with the O lll SAM configuration and each time i turned it on assumes that configuration.
I need turn the SAM off all the time. It´s normal, right? I need that configuration because i´m still comparing both speakers.
I read already about the Harbeth´s and i´m sure we follow the same search of sound, balance and versatility.

D1600 with Sonus Faber Amati Traditions anyone? Oh, with a dCS Vivaldi front end too. Sorry for going a little off topic, but it's a nice picture per the link if nothing else.

I had an audition with the Amati Tradition in the dealer place. Great gear, great sound, great bill. But, believe me, you have a good part, a huge part of the same, for a small fraction of the price with the monitors Guarneri. And i´ve them here at home. Unfortunately with no SAM yet and i´m affraid we need to wait a wile to have them SAM ready.
There is no need to desire SAM. My Harbeth sound much better without SAM.
I fully agree. Without SAM my Olympica II's sound more transparent and open.

I have noticed that SAM is present even if You turn it off. It is better to remove SAM from configurator (SD card).

I am not sure I understand this comment. When I turn off SAM the effects of SAM, both positive and negative, turn off. Can you explain what you have noticed?

There is much better sound when SAM file is disabled in Configurator. Sound is with more air, open and shiny. Bass is fast and defined.

Before changing speakers, how about putting in a DSP unit to tame the bass? Would be a lot cheaper than changing, unless the dealer will give you your money back.
No, i don´t loose any money with the previous speakers, just pay the difference to the new ones. And i try all the gear always at my room before a decision, the problem here isn´t just a bass incompatibility but a lack of detail that i´m used to from all my previous systems.
The Olll has a spectacular and huge sound but comes all at the same time and turns the music like sounding the same. Too big, IMHO.
I´m quite surprised with those new SF Guarneri Tradition: Very small, with an aristocratic look but very impressive when playing, maybe because we underestimate them by size and look.
I´m enjoying it very much, believe me.
