RE: Better "dynamics" from speakers on classical music

As someone else suggested below, it is not just the volume on the loud end, but also the soft end, that really high-efficiency speakers excel at. For most musicians, nothing does orchestral music, and especially it's extremely sudden dynamic swings, like horn speakers driven by tube electronics. Listen to a pair of horns of at least 101dB efficiency and you will hear what I mean, and you will probably never go back. There is a reason all those great Mercury recordings from the "golden age" were mastered using Altecs and McIntosh amps.
