New speakers SAM ready

[f1eng]

I'm amused to see the Martin Logan Montis have crept back up above 100 votes. It'll be interesting to see what Devialet do about this. Now that they've sanitized the "vote for SAM" list, so that the most voted for speakers are more or less all SAM-ready or SAM-soon, things look very tidy: it gives the no doubt desired impression that Devialet are responding to the SAM voting.

The Martin Logans are an awkward case. SAM is designed for multi-driver dynamic speakers (i.e. not hybrid panels with active subs and no crossover, like MLs), and Devialet have publicly said as much. I suspect they'll either SAM the MLs (pointlessly) or more likely make them disappear quietly from the list.

I am intrigued why you think it would be pointless. There is a crossover in the MLs between panel and bass unit
The fact that the bass is active is irrelevant. SAM can not be done when an owner is using his speakers with a separate subwoofer driven by the Devialet crossover and sub out, obviously, but since the ML bass section takes its input from the speaker leads there is no reason why SAM can't be done, even anti-damage mapping, as long as the integrated sub/amp characteristics are known.
