Pretty much everything matters...

...first it's probably your amp/speaker combination whrer you'll hear the most difference. Next is the rest of your electronics.

To me dynamics are the life and breath of the music and the second most important parameter to tonal accuracy in recreating a life-like sound.

If you find a couple of cuts to test dynamic contrasts with, you should be able to hear the differences fairly easily. One suggestion is "I Can See Clearly Now" from Holly Cole's "Don't Smoke in Bed", but I'm sure you'll find others.

I'm using inefficient speakers which present a difficult load and fairly high powered tubed amplifiers so there are many different approaches.
