CD player with best dynamics?


Who do you think makes the CD player with the best dynamics (without being harsh) under $7K? I've been shopping for a new player and have noticed this is an area of wide variablility among players.

Naim. Incredibly rhythmic drive and sense of the beat, whether it be classical, rock, opera, jazz. Levinson is more polite, taking a longer view. Wadia is ok. Krell has drive but can be strident and the bass may be too much of a good thing. Accuphase is very refined and inviting, more lyrical than dynamic. Not sure about the other stuff.
