You're right I wasn't very clear. My main problem is NOT with dynamic range but when Disbeliever broached the subject, I realized he was describing something I was experiencing with ONE of my BIS CDs. I can't generalize it. I've amended my original answer to reflect that.What I can generalize is that I do not care at all for their sound for reasons exposed above. They sound like too much work has gone into the recording, too much processing... unnatural.
On a final note I'd like to add I do not buy CDs for their sound quality but for the music (otherwise I would have very few DG...). That's why I have quite a few BIS as I think they are great musically.
