Just updating this ancient thread, now that Devialet has added SAM profiles for a bunch of newer Magico speakers, including the M3. Having tried it out, I can say (a) I still like SAM dialed way down (using 15% now) to get phase correction and protection, with less of the bass augmentation and (b) the improvement wrought by SAM is less clear on the M3 than it was on my previous Q1 speakers. The change is readily apparent, but I'm not entirely clear yet that it's an improvement. In short, it's a much closer call with the M3. But I *think* I prefer it (again, with SAM at 15%). Time will tell.
