What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?


I’m optimizing my seating position and speaker position in my room and need some new musical selections to use as a reference for projecting depth well beyond the speakers. What are your top choices?

Bonus points if they are available on Qobuz or Tidal, though vinyl record suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Wow.
Not only are you loaded with the good stuff, but also sporting the uniformity of the silver/wood/black visual aesthetics, all the way down to the actual turntable…damn!! Way to go!!

The good stuff awaits…

Harry James on Sheffield.  Direct to disk and then remastered on CD.  Recordings have the real ambience, not some artificial mix on a console. 

The Dø
Live at l’Olympia, Paris
Opposite Ways

about 2/3 through is crazy bass atmosperics

Mahler's Symphony No.5 - I just listened to this record all the way through yesterday (DG, Kubelik conducting) and it's a very holographic recording, plus the fact that the music itself is amazing doesn't hurt.
