Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers?


What is the first song you played when you listened to your new system for the 1st time?

First sound, if a TT is up:

Sweet Child, The Pentangle
...just because it's one of the first albums I own....still 9/10, too. *S*

Otherwise:

Beat Box (Diversion One)....for the piano @ the end of it....
The Holy Egoism of Genius
....both of these: The Art of Noise

Lately.....
Cube 3.0 @ Creamfields 2019, Deadmau5
...loud, Please. *G*

I didn't say you had to agree nor like it.

Cheers, J

Oh, almost forgot....

Save Yourself, Stabbing Westward

Don't use as a demo in a B&M.....;)  Great basslines for the woofs.

Again, played loud....

These last 54 years, Dylan, Blonde on Blonde, Visions of Johanna.  MFSL 45rpm.

Look for clarity and definition of the multiple instruments.  Three guitars and drums, not.

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Tarkus/Trilogy MFSL 200g Vinyl Rip 96/24

Genesis Firth of Fifth - Selling England By The Pound Quiex 200g Vinyl Rip 96/24

Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush/Tony Levin - Don't Give Up SACD - for both Bass & Vocal Sibilances

Certain Diana Krall stuff for vocal Sibilances

The usual Audiophile Stuff but great music none the less

Rebecca Pidgeon - Spanish Harlem, Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold, anything Patricia Barber

And to watch for Cone Excursion - 1812 Telarc SACD Cannon shots !
The whole Emmylou Harris album "Cowgirl's Prayer" with it's goods and bads.

As a sidenote important to test the capability of a system on modern R'n'B and electronic. Very demanding from 15-20 000 Hz. Kills Harbeht's :-)
