I wasn't saying the published specs should be completely ignored but after hearing about how those tests are performed and the variances in the outcomes, they should be taken with a grain of salt.

I know Primacoustic for example used a very different test facility (sorry can't remember the name offhand) that is notorious for extremely accurate results. Peter (owner of Primacoustic) noted that the test engineers were quite taken aback when they saw the results of his products (in a good way) and even he was surprised at how well they performed.
