Real life

Your figures may be correct, I don't know better for sure, so I won't discuss. However, I have seen rock concert peak figures of 150 dB!`And I have seen at least one paper about hearing impairment of classical musicians due to their job!

But what about those classical orchestra recordings that have been made in recording studios? What about close-up miking?

If dynamic range capabilities are that important, why does nobody measure those? Does everyone consider that there's no problem? If you read speaker reviews, I yet have to read the review where dynamic range weakness is critisized.

As for dynamic compression, I have, so far, never seen that on LP, only on CD (read also Bob Katz' website). The question arises, when there's no dynamic range on the CD, why then do dynamic range limited speaker pose a problem? I have some of these dynamically compressed CD, they are simply loud (at 0 dB most of the time) , so any speaker that can play loud without distortion should do the job, not?
