| just about anything by massive attack should test the dynamics of your system. |

| A female vocalist from Taiwan called "Cai Cin" her CD is one of the reference cds amongst the audiophile community in Asia. It's musical, dynamic and full of emotions. One of her albums from 90's is still on my best demo list. |

| I forgot to list Portishead and Delirium... Right there with Massive attack, any of them will give your system a good workout. |

| Fourplay - The best of Fourplay
an amazing album, from start to finish, if you havn't heard it, buy it, track 5 will give you shivers!
Just heard a track from a new disc that will be making it into my collection. I forget what it's called, but it's about 3 weeks old now, by a woman named "Georgia Fumanti"... best female vocal rendering I've ever heard, if your system can reproduce her voice without resonance, my hat is off to you. |

| Sassmaster, I bought that "Fourplay - The best of Fourplay" album. I love it!
One of my personal fav is Celine Dion's "Let's Talk About Love". Very nice recording, very good songs, and needless to say - excellent, excellent singing voice! |

| This thread needs more testosterone.
For lows and sweeping ranges I love my Crystal Method.
For highs and vocals I trust my White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.
For double kicks and how fast the subs react my drummer friend's test CD he burnt me, also good for testing high hats as well as how 'real' the speakers sound.
If you have a friend with a professional recording setup and an instrument of any sort, ask for them to test their full range and some happy melodies they like playing, you won't regret it when it comes to seeing how close your system can recreate it. |
