List : Components with high dynamics

I have to admit that I like high dynamics among other things when it comes to my components. For all of you who like me like to try new components every so often and have come across a highly touted component that is rather sluggish and dissapointing, could you name some of the highly dynamic component out there you know of.

I'll start with the following:

Symphonic Line
Krell
BAT
Eastern Electric Minimax
PrimaLuna Dialogue II

Tvad,

Hey no worries - I wasn't keeping score - although you seem to be! I expect most will agree with you that 99% of audiophiles have no use for high dynamic components that can reproduce music realistically, as if it were live. So FWIW you scored the winning blow. I ignominiously admit that my zeal for horns and pro gear got the better of me and you burst my bubble ;-)

I'll build the pro PA stack and put the easy chair right smack in the middle where the sheep pen used to be.

Watch out. A huge heard of audiophile sheep was seen heading towards your barn this afternoon! I guess they heard about your concert?

CAT amps and preamps are the most dynamic electronics I have heard. Of course, how dynamic they will sound will depend on the speakers they are matched with, but they'll be very dynamic with most.

You can get reasonable dynamics by selecting upstream products that overcome the inherent limitations of conventional speakers or you can choose horn speakers with compression drivers and use pretty much any amplification that suits your ear.
High quality horns are large and expensive but for dynamic reproduction they have no competition whatsoever. This is true even at normal listening levels.
