I can confirm that the Bass weirdness I was experiencing with SAM @ 100% has been resolved. Yay!
The manual included sure helps explain some stuff especifically SAM %. At 0% there is 0 bass extension, the speakers are at stock low frequency response. As you turn up the % you are not increasing the overall bass amount but increasing the amount of bass extension (how low they will go). Of course smaller speaker you might want to crank it up to 100% but larger floor stander maybe not so much. Room dependent of course.
Right now I'm at 50% SAM and 1dB of Bass boost on the tone controls, stock 100HZ. I don't need allot of extension, but I do find a little bump in the bass more enjoyable at lower volumes which help me keep the volume down and my ears happy.
