Imaging Demo Songs?


Have some concerns about the imaging of my system and would like some demo music recommendations. Need something that demonstrates front to back and side to side. I listen mostly to older rock, country and jazz but am open to anything that will show off the ability or inability to present the image.
Thanks

Why don't you list several popular CDs or LPs that others may have as well and then we can recommend what songs to listen to.

You have never done this yourself when things were working well??? You must have some favorites that you have listened to for years and know very well right? Try using those.
Check out Mapleshade CDs. Their recordings are specifically designed to do this well.

On the vintage side most look at Mercury Living Presence label recordings on vinyl or CD.

Surprisingly, mono recordings are useful for this. Generally a well focused yet ambient central presentation of a mono recording of any acoustic solo instrument including voice is usually a good omen that stereo imaging and soundstage will happen well. A murky, nebulous or unfocused mono soundstage is the opposite, a bad sign. Any good quality mono CD or vinyl recording might be used.
