New speakers SAM ready

[Confused]

With respect to SAM / firmware 8.x.x issues, I have had a lot of correspondence with Devialet, plus I have spoken directly with Mathieu Pernod at the recent OAC event. My speakers are not V8 designated, and at no point have Devialet stated that there is an inherent problem with using non V8 designated speakers with 8.x.x firmware. However, Mathieu did suggest that it would be a good idea to get my speakers SAM'd with SAM lab, when this is on its UK tour. He didn't really elaborate too much, but I get the impression that SAM produced with SAM lab is actually superior with SAM 2 than the old "in house" SAM. This is not what I originally thought would be the case, I was initially thinking the SAM lab was probably a little inferior, but a useful means of rapidly increasing the number of SAM ready speakers.
