Better "dynamics" from speakers on classical music

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

I'm asking this question on the music forum because this is the one place where the most classical music lovers are to be found.

I am constantly reading posts about the need for highly sensitive speakers to capture "leading edges" and "transients".

But when I think of dynamic classical music, I think of the symphonies of the likes of Mahler, Sibelius and Bruckner (my favorites anyway). These symphonies have large "dynamic swings", true, but the music being played is by large symphonies with lots of musicians and lost of instruments playing from soft to loud and back again. I don't see how it's possible to pick out the details of "leading edges" and "transients" from any single instrument or set of instruments.

So, as long as one's speakers don't clip or come to close it, and distortion is not readily noticeable in the loudest parts, what is the great benefit of +100 dB speakers to enjoy, say Bruckner's 9th?

Someone explain, please. I keep thinking I have to improve on my 90 dB sensitive speakers to better hear my favorites. But I don't know what I am missing with what i already have. These symphonies all sound gorgeous to me.
