vote Magico M3 for SAM?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. In my experience with my Magico Q1 speakers, SAM makes a significant difference -- but not for the bass! I actually have SAM dialed back to about 10%, which preserves the phase correction but removes the bass augmentation. For me, that has been the best combination (the added bass made the Q1 sound all wrong -- sometimes more is not better, at least in my room).

So, if you have high end speakers (and the Q1 are pretty stellar in my book), do experiment with SAM dialed way down to see whether you like the phase correction, even if you don't like the bass correction.
