SAM can be useful for some smaller / bookshelf speakers to make them play as somewhat larger speakers with deeper FR, but only if not played too loud - it will "eat" their headroom very quickly. For such speakers benefits of SAM could be greater than the drawbacks. Even with larger speakers SAM can and usualy does improve bass, but (for me) the cost is too high. If you ask me - subwoofers are much better solution.
BTW,, everyone can decide for himself what he likes better. A lot of people listen to systems with Dirac and similar room correction DSPs turned on. It's beyond me how they don't hear how bad effect it has on the sound - it steals the soul of the music . The good sound is so much more than the linear / flat FR.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away...
