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.

go to www.anomalousrecords.com and get any of the following: helmir bjorgulfsson "the opposite" (3" cd) or "discreet journey" (same artist) or toshio tsunoda's "field recordings". Mind you, this is strange, experimental, electronic music (in the 1st 2) and oddball recordings of standing waves - but the stuff goes down to the bottom of subwoofer territory. My whole house shakes when I play it!
