I have never been in contact with such enourmous dynamics, can you
please point me to one example?

I have tried my best to look up comercially available recording with a
big dynamic range, but can't find any that exceeds even 75dB. Can you?

Even 75dB can be a problem in most homes with a typical system. Mine
for sure, my Quads flats out at some 100dB SPL and the room has around
30-35 dB noise floor.


Second: many types of music don't use acoustical instruments, or exclusively so,
yet also do not start out as amplified music, so another strawman there noted.
Electronically generated signals can have pretty much a dynamic range that
is limited by the electronics used, that is *well over 100 dB*.

Any example?
