Well, in my view it is useless to argue about subjective impressions. What you hear is what you hear. My guess, and it's just a guess, is that to some extent perceptions of decreased or increased dynamics is related to linear frequency response - in other words, a slight boost in certain frequency ranges may lead to a perception of increased dynamics, and conversely a dip in the same range may lead to a perception of compressed dynamics. For example, horns, which tend to have relatively uneven frequency responses, are often touted as having great dynamics. Just a guess. Certainly, within its loudness limits, an electrostatic speaker should have very linear dynamics, objectively speaking.As to David Chesky, one of the reasons for quoting him is that, unlike most audiophiles, record producers actually HAVE listened to the original live sounds as well as the recording, and thus should have the best idea of what is on the record and what compromises have been made. Everybody else is just guessing.
