Can I enable SAM for re-branded TAD E-1?

[ogs]

Hi:
I own Pioneer S1-EX  speakers which are not SAMed.  This speaker uses either the same or similar drivers as TAD Evolution-1. Since E-1 was released later, there could be more refinements to the drivers. What kind of risks would I be taking by enabling SAM in my setup for E-1? 

Here're the specs for these 2 speakers

Hi Sam

I think Damon covered it well. If you look at Fig. 1 in measurements of both Stereophile links you have provided you'll see that the impedance trace of the bass region of the two speakers is very different (bass reflex tuning is different). This is the area where Devialet SAM is working and impedance data is one of three parameters the SAM logic uses to determine correction and protection for your speaker. So from a technical point of view this will not work well. It is not dangerous to try as long as you follow Damon's advice on volume.
My speakers are not SAMed either but I get decent results with a profile for the Atohm GT-1 as the uncorrected frequency response and impedance trace of the GT-1 and my speakers is quite similar.
