I like to pursue adding max SPL capabilities to my speaker tests (to the extent they are speakers I own at least). I know of the IEC standards for them but I don't know of any real research behind the thresholds they have picked. Limits are in bass where there are multiple mechanisms for distortion. In an active speaker for example, there is the amp clipping and driver becoming non-linear. The latter has multiple mechanisms, each with their own distortion profiles.
Have there been formal studies/papers that we/I should be reading on this? Any of you have done any tests to see what your threshold of distortion is?
Let's discuss what makes sense to do. Note that I don't care about following the crowd. I like to find the right thing to do. We will have enough of our own data as to not need to compare to others doing this.
Open to any and all feedback.
