My guess is your SAM measurement is similar, but I'm guessing.
Oh I might be slow here, are you using room correction, and then adding SAM afterwards to the corrected response?
Thanks. No room correction in place and eq on devialet is flat.
Its interesting that when SAM is at 100% the largest effect (from the screen grab) is at 15hz. Open E on a bass guitar is 41hz, and low B is 31hz so this is well below that.
In my opinion (and as a bass player), the audible effect to music is that with SAM@100% - bass guitar sounds fuller, but somewhat un-naturally forward in the mix. With SAM@0% bass sounds better - tight, distinct but not over represented in the mix and better than SAM switched off.
