I think that in the post production of mix down of such loud music, the recording engineers use "limiters" to clip the wave forms so to not distort the music on the CD or record. When I've transferred CD's to a WAV file on the computer, the wave file is always trimmed off like a crew cut. I assume this is necessary to reduce distortion as a result of the recording limitation. If this is so, I think that playing back a truncated signal would present challenges such as listener fatigue. I also suspect that faithful reproduction would be impossible or at least futile.
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
Not to dig at the genre although I’m not a fan, does Heavy Metal music benefit from an higher resolution systems? I’m not talking about comparing to a cheap box store system, rather, would one benefit moving from an audiophile quality $5-10k to a $100k+system?
