First, appologies if this is not the best part of the forum where to post this question but I landed here after delving a bit deeper into DVD-A vs SACD (and seen a couple of postings on the "dynamic range" in the article series followups). While it is related to that discussion somehow, this is a bit more of a general question.
In short: All the discussions/articles I've seen so far (pointers to the contrary would be highly appreciated) seem to decouple "dynamic range" from frequency response. My EE (actually CE, but _supposedly_ with some signal processing knowledge
) intuition tells me that when measuring the dyamic range of e.g. a speaker it would be different if e.g. 1 kHZ sinusoid was sweeped from 0 dB / noise floor to (whatever_undistorted_max) dB SPL than if the same as done at 20 Hz or 20 kHz (resp. min / max reproductible by the speaker).
Put it simply, from all the info I could gather so far "dynamic range" it seems more of an "aggregate" measuerment (of sorts) instead of a function of frequency i.e. different "dynamic ranges" for different frequncies.
Hoping that the above made some sense and this is not exactly OT in this forum, TIA for any links/enlightment on the matter.
