In case people are interested. Arendal sent me this in response to request for measurement data:
Certainly we have done CEA-2010 measurements, which is the market standard for a subwoofers maximum SPL levels at a given distortion limit.
Please note, that the current standard states measurements at 1 meter distance, peak measurements. Our measurements are made at 2m, so you can add 6dB to the peak measurement here to compare with others following current standard, although most are still going by 2m measurements.
CEA-2010 also only apply from 20-63 Hz, however for the sake of showing what our products are capable of we have included all the way to 12.5Hz and up to 125Hz.
This is for 1961 Subwoofer 1S:
I think you will find this very competitive in the grand scheme of things, our new amp design for the 1961 series has 100% full power down to 10Hz (before internal subsonic kicks in to save the power supply) which frankly is unheard of in the industry.
