Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: I don't know where you get your albums...

Decca records was bragging about 30 db dynamic range way back in the 60s and things are way better now. Recordings with wide dynamic range are rare but they exist. I have a Carmina Burrana live recording done with no compression. And There are some piano recordings that the peaks are pretty strong. Besides as I said some amps can't put full output into difficult loads and then clipping can occur. My good friend George Biscoff(Melos electronics, Pipedreams speakers) liked to say a good big un will beat a good little un every time.
