Most classical is recorded with some dynamics. But it suffers from another problem. A full orchestra doing FFF is really loud. Sixty or one hundred professional musicians can make a lot of sound. Most home stereos can't deliver the same sound. No reasonably priced stereo can. This is what drives some audiophiles to spend large amounts of money on very large systems. If you want to sound like five string basses, 30 violins, five trumpets, etc. you need to move as much air as the real musicians do. Or at least move as much air relative to the live concert hall. And if you have a system that can reproduce an orchestra, or even something smaller, like a "big band" which is only 20 to 30 musicians, its not going to work with most decorating committee's approval. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
