That’s incredibly loud and entirely non practical!! But to know when you’re playing really loud at 105 db or something and still have the dynamic overhead to not compress is amazing.

Ok now this is dragging the thread off topic, however, this is where chat led us…..

How does the type or quality of recording impact the dynamic overhead when reaching those upper limits? IE: even though your system may be able to handle it the recording may not have ability to squeeze enough dynamics out of its self to feed the system. I’m kinda making this up as I go so please correct me but it seems there’s a limit to the information in the audio.

Also, why do you think the Bryston Active T won’t go clean to 118db but perhaps the LFR actives will? Better DSP? Or are both susceptible to breakup at those limits , DSP notwithstanding.
