Music for setting up speakers



Im setting up my 30yr old Martin Logan Sequel II’s. I followed some ML guidelines and it was pretty straight forward. They are 8’ apart and 8’ from me. I towed them in using a flashlight and beam reflection, it was pretty easy, same for the reflection to be sure one isnt tilted forward or backward more than the other.

I’ve been listening to some Tidal tracks and wondering what you listen to to confirm your setup is right for you.

I listened to some solo violin and cello, some folky vocals, some Led Zepp just because :0)

maybe music where instruments are easily located ect

Thanx

What chamber music do you refer to, im using Tidal to listen and if i like i’ll hunt down the album eventually. My system by design is set, but product shipping has been an issue, everything in time.....I’m really looking forward to the combined sound of all my pieces, this is exciting.

i like the music suggestions so far, thanx

Btw solo vocalist is another suggested source, who do you like.

Thanx for the Chesky referal!!
Ok boys, back to the original post. What music to you listen to Lol when ur setup is somewhat complete.

What i’d like to read here is what music for what reasons.

example The NottingHillbillies vocals are amazingly recorded, CSNY So Far compilation has great harmonies.

Enya WaterMark has an extremely spacious sound, almost like my HT with all its channels 

Solo piano David Lanz George Winston, i can get a real sense of the room size ect.

have fun with this, dont try so hard to be right, that creates conversations like we have, pure garbage, bored old men trying to see who knows more.

Just The Music, leave ur Ego at the Door please :0)


boys, just list a song, and why you use it, simple :o)

nothing else……..lets see who follows directions. 
Heres another, the entire Gregory Alan Isakov This Empty Norther Hemisphere, his vocals are recorded wonderfully for center image. Idaho is my fav it does everything right.

Maybe ur just to busy with mics and tape measures, do you guys even listen to your systems, or do you just “use” them like all the words im reading, come on ;0)

Christine McVie Song bird on Rumors, you can hear the emotions, so much wanting in that song, its just plain beautiful, the vocal capture her feeling, its amazing
DireStraits!! Yes
i’ll Q up some MilesDavis thanx man

see that, someones listening thanx
Dave Holland, i’ll give that a try. 
I’ll be giving this a serious listen later, thank you, i stream from Tidal and this sounds pretty cool, thanx

I wasnt gonna get a cd player, but looks like that might be a nice option i guess
Murph, give it a break man, this thread is about listening to music, chill out, grab a beer or a smoke and lets talk music man.
I was giving NatalieMerchant a few listens this afternoon and vocals are so listenable, hours of listening and no fatigue 
Thanx man, i love her first album, picked up the vinyl version, waiting for my Champagne Parasound HINT6 to show up so i can hear vinyl for the first time in years :0)


The question im asking is well after the advice you are offering. Im at the listening point now……geez :0/

its like ur all in the wrong thread, thats a couple doors down Lol
