Hi Sam,
I think that most responses you get will tell you that this is not a good idea. Though the drivers are similar, they are not the same, and the crossover design is different as is the cabinet and other design parameters. So, there is the potential for speaker damage. Personally, I used a SAM profile for a newer ProAc Tablette on my old Tablettes. It does make a difference, but ultimately I removed it; I never used SAM at 100% in any event. So, I've done it, but I don't think there is a truthful benefit to doing so. (truthful meaning closer to the designed performance)
Putting the physical damage potential aside, I doubt you will get better speaker, or driver performance with an inappropriate SAM profile. If you want to try it for fun, have at it. But do be careful with the volume.
