New firmware 8.1.3

[GuillaumeB]

These are interesting observations, I have noticed very similar with the KEF Blade.  However, I think these might be differences between the "original" SAM and SAM V2, rather than related specifically to firmware differences.  Although the two are obviously related, as "old" SAM can only be used with 7.x.x firmware.  I can't help thinking that there is something not quite right with SAM 1 profile conversion to SAM V2.

Maybe all legacy SAM profiles need a SAM Lab update to get full benefit of SAM 2?

Yes - I wouldn't mind being there (Oxford) when they measure these speakers could be quite an interesting afternoon. I wonder how much variability there is between different speakers of the same model, for e.g my Sashas really opened up after a few months of 24/7 playback. Presumably there is some variability between the drivers themselves, I know Linn Exakt models this kind of thing by measuring each individual driver as opposed to just having an off the shelf profile for a specific speaker model. Perhaps it's best if SAM Lab comes here?!
