RE: "I'm not sure what the situation is with BIS"

A large dynamic range has always been a characteristic of live classical music. BIS has always recorded in such a way that the listener gets the dynamic range produced by the musicians. This is true of early BIS recordings as well as later ones, and has little to do with formats. I have never heard a BIS recording or any other recording of classical music that had too much dynamic range. There is something wrong. I suggest tracking it down.

If the dynamic range is too much for you, then there are several possibilities. First, your room may be too noisy to hear the quiet passages and you are forced to crank up the volume to unnaturally loud levels. Second, your system may lack the ability to reproduce undistorted peaks cleanly. Third, your ears may not support listening to classical music as it was intended to be heard. Go to a live classical concert and sit in row 10 or row 20 and if it is unpleasantly loud, that could be the problem (depending on the concert hall).
