No - that's not what I was talking about

Dynamic range, as it refers to an actual recording, should refer to the difference between the softest level and loudest level on that recording. Apart from this, the medium itself can have a maximum dynamic range - this is separate from the dynamic ranges of particular recordings played on that medium. I understand what the Loudness Wars were all about - although, as a classical listener, I've never had to worry about it. To say that DR is the difference between average level and maximum level is just a misuse of the term IMHO.
