Test CD


Can anyone recommend a CD to use that can test the frequency response of a speaker? And what will it cost and where can I find one?

Also, is a burn in CD required? In the past I've used Classical CD's in my collection that have a wide range of frequencies to burn in a new pair of speakers. Wondering if a dedicated CD would be better?

Granite Audio has a couple but seem to be overpriced $50.

I bought 2 here on Agon in an auction years ago (CD-102 and CD-103). I used it to break in a replacement pair of speakers that had a flaw in the finish. The original pair of speakers took 400 hrs of just playing music on them. The replacement pair took 450 hrs playing music while I was home and looping on white and pink noise and frequency sweeps while away or sleeping at night.

That said I tried using it to set up a sub. Big mistake. What sounded like a perfect sweep sounded horrible when playing music (way too much bass).
