I was just listening to Rusted Root. The track Drum Trip is a pretty good workout for the woofers. I also recommend Planet Drum by Mickey Hart. Those above who mentioned Billy Cobham's Warning cd are absolutely correct, it's been one of my favorite cd's for over 10 years.
Speaker punishing bass
I was wondering if anybody had suggestions for quality recordings with frightening bass. I use several discs for auditioning speakers to see if they can stand up without distorting. My favorites are: Vic Wooten with the Flecktones, Marcus Miller, Copland's "Fanfare for a Common Man", Edgar Meyer's "Uncommon Ritual" and "Passage" by the Empire Brass Quintet. While bass isn't the last word it has made short work of some speaker choices. As always I look forward to any suggestions.
