>>Can you match two monitors of differing gamut? One wide, one standard?

First the technical answer: There is no way to make a monitor display colors outside its gamut. Matching displays through calibration and profiling makes the colors which both displays can reach match. It does not clip colors one can reach but the other cannot to the gamut of the smaller device. Doing that, if one actually wants to do that, requires one of two methods. Either use an application (such as Phtoshop) with proofing functions and proof to the smaller gamut, or use a wide gamut display with internal color space settings, and set to the smaller space. Both these techniques still require accurate display profiles, but both are outside the usual needs of users. 

Now to answer the question I believe you were asking: Spyder4Elite can make in-gamut images look the same on side-by-side wide gamut and standard gamut displays.
