List : Components with high dynamics

How many of us are going to require concert level SPL in our listening rooms,
or have rooms that will even support concert level SPLs (I know...yours does,
I'm sure).

I don't need to blow out my windows to enjoy dynamics that fool me into
believing I'm enjoying my listening experience. My $8000, inadequately mid-fi,
moderately dynamic speakers do just fine, thank you. I'll wager 99% of the
readers of this thread have the same criteria, and have no use for pro-design
big box, or professional sound reinforcement horn loudspeakers in their living
rooms or dens.

But, for those who do, it's really good to know the options are out there.

Tvad,

Hey no worries - I wasn't keeping score - although you seem to be! I expect most will agree with you that 99% of audiophiles have no use for high dynamic components that can reproduce music realistically, as if it were live. So FWIW you scored the winning blow. I ignominiously admit that my zeal for horns and pro gear got the better of me and you burst my bubble ;-)

When I get the farmhouse with the barn, I'll build the pro PA stack and put the easy chair right smack in the middle where the sheep pen used to be.

Watch out. A huge heard of audiophile sheep was seen heading towards your barn this afternoon! I guess they heard about your concert?

CAT amps and preamps are the most dynamic electronics I have heard. Of course, how dynamic they will sound will depend on the speakers they are matched with, but they'll be very dynamic with most.
