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

Yello? You have to be kidding. I really like Yello. The old guy is a riot but it is terrible music to evaluate loudspeakers. How do you know what an electronic instrument sounds like? You don't. It can sound like anything.
You have to use acoustic instruments you are familiar with. I use string quartets, solo piano pieces and jazz with acoustic bass particularly Dave Holland who I have seen 3 times and know his bass well. 
No wonder millercarbon thinks Moabs sound good. Yello is probably the only thing that sounds decent on Tektons.
