The only question I have is about the 100%. I am. But I did not try a 50% sam for instance.
The % represents how much low end extension SAM gives you. 0% mean no bass extension just phase alignment, your speakers are theoretically producing the frequency response on the manufacturer's spec sheet. 100% is maximum extension your speakers are capable of, the number Devialet advertises with each SAM profile.
Rooms setup might now allow you to go crazy with % without getting major room interaction. Larger speaker might need little to no extension. Each situation is different.
