The alto sax on Brubeck's Take Five album is a good test of the upper midrange. If it sounds harsh, you should pass, IMO. Same with Nora Jones' earlier stuff. Voice is recorded very front and center and will expose a harsh or honky midrange in short order.
IMO the two best tracks to demo or test any system
Celine Dion - Its All Coming Back To Me
Led Zeppelin - In My Time of Dying
Both songs can give you a great understanding of any system your listening to, or building or wanting to build.
May examples are from Celine Dion's greatest hits on CD, I would like to use the original album, I find Greatest Hits can be compressed more to fit more songs on the CD as apposed to the original release. Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti Classic Records pressing.
Just my thoughts I wanted to share with my fellow nut cases :)
