Now I know that you WERE referring to dynamic range, which you find excessive on BIS discs. I don't know how much you listen to symphonic music live or whether you have hearing loss that makes it hard for you to hear soft sounds, but there is a huge dynamic range in the concert hall that is often compressed on CDs. I don't think BIS is adding dynamic range that isn't already there; rather, I suspect you are more comfortable with the compressed dynamic range on some other recordings.
I do know what you mean--I have several of the BIS recordings of the Beethoven symphonies (Vanska, Minnesota), and when I can clearly hear the softest parts, the loudest sections of the music are uncomfortably loud.
