When I bought my Devialet 170 -- now 200 -- when I lived in France in 2014, I elected also to purchase the Devialet-discounted Atohm GT1 special-edition speakers. I am still satisfied with the combination. As the GT1 was the first speaker to receive the SAM treatment, I think Devialet worked diligently on this SAM implementation.
So, a question for you who have the same combination: what setting do you use for SAM? I have mine set at 100 percent and find it works well over a wide spectrum of music. The bass is tight and, in fact, amazingly deep on some hi-rez material. I recognize that speaker response is also room-dependent but I am still curious about possibly playing with the SAM settings based on others' experience.
