Obviously I have similar issues with low volume + this (RA1570) one needs to warm up for at least 30mins. By then my daily evening quota of listening gets done (reading news paper or novel etc).

Heard by local dealer, that Devialets dont need warming time ? or its less time needed ? Any thoughts?

Anyway, for the few Watts it uses I'm not going to make a big deal out of it and just keep it on. I'll save the planet by driving less and walking more

Yes i would leave this warming business here. Main topic is still ON. My KEFs are still not SAM ready. maybe i can still go ahead with D120 and then use something which is close enough specs to KEF 203 (maybe a B&W 804) - Stupid ? or use it without SAM enabled until they get my speaker model SAM ready.

No I wouldn't use a SAM profile for another speaker. It's designed around the 'faults' of the speaker and it's less than perfect time alignment. If you were to use a different SAM profile you will probably make it sound worse.
