Which CD's for Imaging/Soundstage?


Which CD would you use to check the imaging and soundstage of the speakers/system.

I found these to be very good examples

Branford Marsalis - Trio Jeepy
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
Cassandra Wilson - New Moon Daughter
Suzanne Vega - Particularly Tom's Diner
Zakir Hussain, John McLaughlin, Jan Garberak - Making Music
Strunz and Farah - Primal Magic

JS Bach's Musical Offering(on the same cd with Art of the Fugue),Academy of St. Martin in the Fields orchestra.
The Musical Offering is contrapuntal and in most parts,you hear three horizontal lines being played at the same times as instruments and groups of instruments exchange parts.
I judge how well a system images by how well I can follow the melody,countermelody,and third line defining the harmony, without the speakers getting in the way.
