To my knowledge there isn't a single classical recording that has been compressed. That's why classical CDs or LPs usually require the volume knob to be turned up so you can hear the very soft parts, and then, the very loud parts really hit you, just like in a concert hall. Recording standards are much higher for classicalthe music, musicians, and listeners demand it.
dynamic range -the good and bad?
so dynamic range in a given recording is limited by many factors,correct? And I have read many many threads that make dynamic range sound very ideal, correct? ok, that said, I thought I had a decent surround sys setup, marantz reciever and enegry take speakers. Assumed I had good dynamic range, and maybe I do. But I just set up my new 2 channel (extremly modest) system. Threw is some classical and now I notice something I havent before. The soft passages are queit so i turn it up and the louder passages are to loud!!! Is this normal? Guess it could be my room, the cd, or equipment but is this a common problem?
