Or maybe a well recorded concert with great dynamics like

Joe Jackson - Summer in the city

If your system can play this one really loud without problem you have a good one.

Guests normally like pictures so I play some tracks from the extraordinary Blu-ray Chris Botti in Boston.

On YouTube there’s hd videos of

Billie Eilish - Bad Guys

Alan Walker - Sorrow 

and a thousand more….

 

@noromance It’s a lot af bass but if you believe it’s to much then your system + room is not in balance down there :)

Or it has to do with the vinyl..

@noromance

I do! A lot! In my opinion all tracks on this cd are perfectly recorded, mixed and mastered. Each single tone is as it should be. All bass tones, even the deepest and loudest, are clearly definable with individual start and stop. When you are able to reproduce this in your room (probably not in a car...) you can also enjoy the mids and highs and discover the dynamics and 3D. You will need serious dsp :)

Another popular "electronic" test song would be Anette Askvik - Liberty. Same here - not possible to understand in full before you hear it on a system + room in perfect balance.

Most common reaction tend to be "how clearly everything sounds". And that’s a good one I think.

What I prefer to show is the opening 20 minutes of the latest Bond "No Time to Die". It’s a film within a film and has all entertainment you could ask for. Great action, marvelous pictures, big sounds and finally the subtile Billie Eilish (again!) theme. Beginning and end. No need for more. If your public don’t beg for it...
