I have spent the past few days tinkering with firmwares, configurations and speaker partnering (I have a few different pairs) and feel that different firmwares require different levels of SAM on the GT1s.Appreciate your reply! I also love the GT1s!
With firmware 7.1.3, the bass is very full sounding so I keep SAM at approx. 50% in my given listening room. With firmware 8.1.3, I adjust SAM to 75% to get the same sort of bass extension I got with 7.1.3. With the latest 10.1.0, I can run SAM 100% and still not close to the bass extension I got with 7.1.3 so I have come to the conclusion that it is very firmware specific, at least in my room on the 120.
Loving the GT1s by the way.
