In Reply to: A question wtih possibly no answer re: system dynamics posted by TopPop on May 10, 2006 at 08:25:55:
Dynamics or dynamic range refers to the difference between the softest and loudest parts in a piece of music and is measured in dB. Dynamic headroom is the amp's ability to provide the instantaneous power to increase the spl when required. So good dynamic range is largely dependent on the recording and on the amp's power and the quality of its power supply. When you talk about visceral punch, I think that what you are referring to is transient attack. In my experience, low sensitivity bookshelf type speakers don't do transient attack very well. To me, they tend to sound rather constipated (as opposed to fast and effortless). Listen to a SET driving a pair of sensitive speakers, such as horns. See if this is the type of sound that floats your boat. If you don't want to go that route, you could start by beefing up your amp's power supply and see if this helps. Or consider getting (building?) more sensitive speakers. Cheers.
