Per manufacturers figures, the KEF Blades are -28Hz at -6dB. Devialet's figures are 24.6Hz without SAM and 14.4Hz with SAM. So for sure, in this case it looks like Devialet's numbers are quoted at something lower than -6dB. Maybe -8dB? Interesting stuff, and more evidence of Devialet bigging things up 1000 times more than normal manufacturers. However, if it sounds ok, its all fairly irrelevant I think, especially as some of the LF numbers for SAM'ed speakers are actually in the subsonic / inaudible range!
