Any consistent methodology is better than comparing specs from different manufacturers.
The drivers get less efficient as they heat up. That is why ambient temperature and length of test can make a difference (say if you wanted to suppress the SPL of your cheaper product to make the more expensive one look better).
If you are not hearing distortion (<5% THD) and it would not get louder, you engaged the DSP limiting in the product.
