RE: Magnepan New MCR Speaker at CAF

Sadly, they don't, it's all they've ever heard. The record companies do it because they want their tracks to sound louder than the next guy's on the radio.

Funny, when I was at Symphony Hall a few weeks ago, the dynamic range was remarkable (how can a hall have dynamic range?). You could hear the smallest tinkle, and then it would hit you over the head. Sad that record companies feel the need to compress even classical music in the days of digital audio -- it robs it of so much. And then there are the harpsichords that are louder than the orchestra, etc. . . .

First world problems.
