Well, I've taken my LS50s back upstairs so no more SAM for me. I only heard gains from SAM on them, deeper cleaner bass, no loss in MF or HF just better.
OTOH nowhere near my bigger speakers in my main room, with or without SAM, as one would hope.
I have had 3 experiences with SAM, 2 at OAC open day and one at home.
The first was 800s into Sascha 2 which was first class, but SAM wasn't switched off whilst I was there.
The second was the Devialet/Atohm system, where SAM was a marked improvement.
The third was longer and at home with my own kit, 800s into KEF LS50 and again no down side, though my room is about 5m x 10m and they were well away from walls (2m behind 1.5m each side), so unlikely to create negative room interactions
