Correct on all points, Christine, but compression has been a fact

of life long before the advent of stereo as one earlier poster postulates.

As for your point about systems not being capable of reproducing full dynamic range without distortion, that's primarily because most self-acclaimed audiophiles do not realize how important it is to have at least 18 dB headroom -- which will require far more power and transient response than is capable from the garden variety of audio components. (The opportunity to hear very efficient speakers - like some horn systems - driven with > 100W amps is a real eye/ear opener.)
