It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Better "dynamics" from speakers on classical music

I think at least part of the answer lied in distinguishing between micro and macro dynamics. An example of the macro is the change from a passage in Mahler where one instrument is playing pppp to the coda of the 8th symphony with two choruses, massive orchestra, off stage brass choir, and organ. For the micro you are talking about the first fraction of a second of a percussive piano tone or the attack of the bow on a violin string that is lot louder than what follows that first fraction of a second. Capturing the nuances of those leading tones requires different attributes for the speaker and amplifier, I think. It is more a matter of quick response than lots of power.
