Only two tracks to test your system, forever!


If you could only use two tracks/songs for the rest of your life whenever you wanted to test a change to your system, what would they be?

A lot of great suggestions here, some I have in my collection, many I do not and will have to check out.

@jay2 Being a fan of smooth jazz, I went on YouTube and gave Pete Belasco "Deeper" a listen - great suggestion. Even streaming through my 12 year old MacBook, it sounded good. Defiantly has the bass. Went on Amazon Music and ordered the CDs of "Deeper" and "Lights On"

Very much enjoyed this! Added 7-8 songs listed here to my existing testing and positioning playlist. There are quite a few I already had on my list. Cheers to all that have participated.

Lana Del Ray - Venice B**ch.  The width and depth of this marvellous production and the layering of the textures will really test the system.  Can the system present this complicated production as a homogenous whole? Does the sound completely fill the room as it will on a good system?

FKA Twigs - Home With You.  That orchestral ending is tough to get right.

Nice choices.

For me it all depends. Am I looking for a system or speaker that has a realistic and rich tapestry with tonally accurate midrange, meaning singers sound the way you would expect them to.
