>From what I understand, one of the most important attributes that
enable an amplifier to do justice to a CD player is its "dynamic
headroom".  The higher it is, the better the amplifier can reproduce
those loud transient passages that are generally not found on analog
records.  Supposedly, the new line of Denon receivers and amplifiers
have some of the highest dynamic headroom in the industry.  They are
also among the very few "lower-than-high-end" amplifiers that can drive
2-ohm speaker loads.

Any comments from the experts?
