Hi Matt - You may well be right regarding the phase errors, but to be honest, who knows!
In a way, you are also correct regarding a few extra percent of bass performance, with much of what I listen to this is about right. It's not the whole story though, I was listening to some music on random the other day, whilst sorting out some stuff in the house, and up popped a Dizzy Rascal track. (I may get thrown off this forum for even mentioning Dizzy Rascal)
It was not even one of his best (?) tracks, a faily bland number but then from nowhare appeared this kind of drop down tone bass effect that sounded utterly extrordinary, like it was wizzing between the speakers and flying around the room and at the same time sounded slightly surreal. Out of interest, I replayed the same bit with SAM off, and it sounded fairly ordinary, nothing special at all. Again with SAM, and there it was, quite extraordinary. So to make something ordinary sound extraordinary is more than a few percent, but then again, you might only get this on a few pecent of what you listen to, so it depends on how you look at it.
