That is very impressive even for a regular speaker, not to speak of a hybrid ESL. Well beyond what I would have expected.
My peak measurement was 126 db which was by accident while transitioning from doing measurements for XO settings to playing music. Both bass panels and midrange bottomed out and Sarah Vaughn was singing with violins stuck in her mouth.
My typical measurements on really large scale orchestra get peak readings at the 105-115 db level Things like Stravinsky Ballets Mahler and Liszt and Tchaikovsky tone poems. Oddly, I don't get those transient peaks from CD when played at the same average SPL. peaks on CD are apparently either cut off or compressed. When played on CD with the same 92 db average reading in the loud passages I don't get peaks in excess of 105db.
