In the past I have used Pink Floyd's "the Final Cut" and "The Wall" ...However for the past several years I have used only one CD, Ennio Morricone's original sound track from the film "The Mission" I believe This recording offers the most "competitive" range of sounds found on any recording. It may not be the music I Would listen to every day ... but the timing of the mix of instruments by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, with the choral performance of London Voices and Barnet Schools Choir, will quickly separate the men from the boys in speakers and equipment.
Try it, with the right audio gear, and It'll make the hair stand up on the back of your neck!
