Is there anything better than live recordings?
You also forgot the live concert tracks on Billy Joel - Piano Man Legacy edition :)

@drmuso Live at Leeds is an excellent sounding live recording, with great dynamics and can be played at very high levels. Live at Hull may be preferred. Thanks to others for some great tips.

  Well, if these doesn't turn you on....

Disagree 100%? That's a lot. Always very happy to find a live recording where the dynamics is kept.  
Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts?
Save for Salon 2’s used. Unbeaten. Everything you can wish for from a dynamic speaker. Too expensive to be built today.    For old and new pop. Just eq down the 2-4 kHz range :-)  
Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue is an effects album
Try this one Bo Kaspers Orkester - 10 latar live excellent music and real dynamics…if you got a system for it :-)  
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
YouTube (video) is a great media to hook up to your system. You just have to find the good ones. Lots of critisism here based on little experience.  
Best amp for Salon 2
First congrats on a fantastic speaker. They are too great to be built today. But there are two issues. 1. They need power. I use a Storm 8-channel in bridged mode which can give them each about 800 W at eight ohm. More is better. There is no limit...

System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live
On youtube you can find "Live in the Studio" recordings with really fine dynamics. Not damaged that much through the recording and mastering process. With a good system playing at real levels they can feel like you're there. Try Cory Wong. Not le... 
Room correction room system vs ears….
If you use Roon (if not I advise you to..) you can just make a REW measurement and then manually plug the proposed REW filters into the Roon EQ soft ware. From there add your own adjustments after careful listening.   
The character of analog and digital
Best digitally transfered recordings are found on YouTube. Type “Live in the studio”. Both dynamic and “musical”. Can be played at any volume. Try Cory Wong to see for yourself. Not liking the cd version over the vinyl version doesn’t say anythi...

HAEVN - Holy Ground   Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Night gnomes   King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - (hopefully something soon)      
Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl
Well, personally I much prefer the organic and dynamic sound of Katy Lied to the over processed mainstream sound of later SD recordings. It also has the best songs…Daddy is to kill for :-)
