It would be nice if Devialet qualified these figures by stating the spl at which the quoted figures are measured, i.e. -3dBA or -6dBA or whatever. Looking at the figures, it looks as if -6dBA or possibly even lower is used, so a bit like the quoting power outputs a 6ohm when the rest of the world uses 8.
I know that the Atohm GT1s were measured at -3dBA. Below is the reference from the Devialet website. No idea about the other speakers that have received the SAM treatment.
