Just a reminder that with SAM activated, the peak power delivered can be much much higher than the peak power of a traditional amplifier on the same program.
So even if I was listening to my former D120 at -6dB and I’m now listening to my D220 at -8dB (this is when listening to classical programs with a very high dynamic) both amplifier do not behave the same way because of SAM. If SAM were off, given my speakers are 8 ohms, the peak power would be around 45W for both amps, but because of SAM the D120 was peaking at 180W and the D220 is peaking at 330W, which makes a lot of difference in the low bass compartment. (I’m listening to a lot of pipe organ, so there are really low basses when you listen to a 32’ pedal)
