I am a touring concert FOH engineer so Smaart7 is part of my every day life while working, you could easily rent a Smaart rig from any of your local sound co. Brittania row, Eighth day Sound, SSE, Skan, for 1 day and get it perfect.
Coherency is when the sound from the speakers all arrive at the same time and is a big deal when multiple sources produce the same freq.
But i would put money on you have a physical phase issue between your SWS8, or SWS8 and your single 10", which means they are canceling what each other do, so you have the gain set so you hear anything.
Find the Focal test CD online and use the phase test track to audibly check your SWS for phase.
Get a tape measure out and measure the distance between your head and all the speakers, then enter the data into the BitOne so at least you have it close time wise.
Most important is check the phase between the SWS8.
Where are you located?
