It did, honest  But...

I said not to get too concerned with the SPL thing. There's bigger things at work here.

You confusing my talk about peak vs. background SPL range as my entire opinion on what makes a dynamic sound - there was more  The SPL thing was simply talking about 'life sized' proportion in relation to dynamics. The rest is covered with the impulse/step response which is basically a foot print on how a loudspeaker performs, including what can be attributed as 'dynamics'.

The rest of the text about gradual changes is covered by the whole step blah blah thing.

I can see that you disagreed with me because you took meaning from the word SPL.
