Interesting this topic should arise. I found a similar thread 2 days ago on Audioholics.
Link Gene at Audioholics added some clarifing information to the thread that you might find informative. ...Oh, never mind, Ian posted more useful information.
While the discrepency between test condition results and real world is interesting, I found the discussion just a little too technical for me to feel like digging into. Specifications aren't everything. I'd swear my M22's provide more base than the Energy C-3's I was using even though the published specifications are the opposite. However, I have yet to run direct comparison tests to verify my first impressions.
