Just read the Hi-Fi Choice review of the Devialet Ensemble (Devialet entry-level unit plus Atohm GT1 plus Atohm cables). As I am due to get the GT1s this week to pair with my Devialet 200, I am pretty excited. Hard to believe that, with SAM, this little bookshelf speaker can reach down to 20Hz (from a published 45Hz without SAM). I will post my reactions down the road.

That's extraordinary! I'm jealous.

Rufus, your system looks terrific, as I have heard wonderful things about Raidho speakers! Me, I am looking to be minimalist and get rid of lots of components, cables, etc. I think the Ensemble is my last step, and one which my wife will applaud!

Can reach frequency response with SAM® : 25 Hz (- 3dB)
But this is at - 3dB. Normally measures done by audio press are at - 6dB. So this is a little tricky.

Ah, didn't know about -3dB vs -6dB. Thanks for sharing.

I hate to rain on people's parades, but there's a big question mark over distortion at low frequencies with SAM.
Getting a small driver to go down to 25Hz at -3dB has to involve sacrifices somewhere. SAM cannot bend the laws of physics. The likely effect of this deep bass extension with small standmount speakers is relatively high LF distortion.
On the other hand, I can well imagine how SAM could have big benefits for larger speakers in the bass department.
Not knocking SAM: just trying to be realistic.
Still, I'm dead interested to see what SAM will do for the Sonus faber Cremona Auditor Ms which I have in storage!
