"just what do you do with a symphony that plays at 70-80dB for 95% of the time and then go to 120-130dB right at the end?"Adjust for maximum input if you prefer the purist approach or use (mild) dynamic range compression to prevent trouble.
But again it isn't really a problem because the volume levels in a domestic listening environment are scaled down by the volume setting.
And as a consequence any artifacts with it.With 24 bit artifacts are already very low. With proper dither this is not an issue.
PS 120..130dB levels are hardly reached at the usual mic position.
