Is time coherence more important than dynamics: Gallo versus Green Mountain
Dynamic range ("jump factor") trumps time-coherence - though they are not mutually exclusive! And can be implemented in the same speaker by a savvy designer! Two cases of successful designs: DCM Time Windows and Ohm Sound Cylinders (Steve Eberbach...

Those Martin Logan electrostats have an impedance that falls to 1 ohm at high frequencies! A disaster for most tube amps. Try a big class A Krell or Pass amp instead!
