All very true I'm sure. I'm getting older, so I really don't listen at crazy volumes anymore. If I were sitting right in front of the speakers that would be more the 10-20%(estimate). Anything beyond that would be for listening elsewhere in the house. Yes. Most of the music I listen to has very little dynamic range because I do tend to listen to newer music like Train and Coldplay. I wish everything was recorded more like Steely Dan, but that is just not where recording levels are at right now.

I was thinking that all of these remasters keep coming out louder and louder. The re-re-release of Sgt. Pepper is gash in my opinion. Very loud and bumpy. Maybe in the future the selling point when remastering will be MORE DYNAMIC. One can only hope.

In Roon, I can now easily see the dynamic range of recordings. Amazing that much of the ambient (not new age) and minimal composition - quiet music - is far more dynamic than "energetic" popular recordings.
But hey, why do something well when you can do it cheaply yet superficially impressive and aspirational (broad appeal and status affirming). Ultimately unsatisfying and disposable are also good - keep them spending. I hope true independent recording artists/ labels, niche producers, designers, crafts-persons, artisans etc. will prevail and point to a different way - satisfying, long-lasting, well-designed products that have meaning beyond commerce and its best friend, fashion.
Wow, sorry for the off topic. I'll stop there.
Enjoy your speakers - they seem like good ones!
Cheers,
91.
