Re: hi-rez is increased definition and dynamics

As a starter, read this

http://sjeng.org/ftp/SACD.pdf


Then, CD when properly dithered has a dynamic range of 115 dB. SACD offers 120 dB. But you'd also want to reproduce that range.

Now look at what the amp power requirements are for various SPL (an enlarged version of the table is available in the link)

See what I mean?

Then, how loud can a given speaker play whilst keeping distortion levels low?
