Ashley Macissac- Sleepy Maggie (slowly increasing volume with stereo switching L and R at the start moving into full mids with mild bass)
Chris Connell- Seasons (from Singles soundtrack; great clarity and guitar)
Enya- Lazy Days (very full mids, nice vocal)
Eric Clapton Unplugged- Signe (any song will do from this cd, beautiful acoustics, guitar, vocals, background noises)
Future Sound of London- Calcium (my fiance's pick, typical dance bass, alternating sounds)
Great Big Sea- General Taylor (PURE vocals including some male high strong mid notes and a favorite canadian band of mine)
Holly Cole Trio- I can see clearly now (beautiful vocal, deep cello bass throughout)
Kings College Choir- O come all ye faithful (Xmas song but has tight high vocals as well as the punishing bass that only a pipe organ can deliver!)
Our Lady Peace- Superman's Dead (loud rock and another Canadian band)
Sarah Mclaughlin- Ice Cream (soft smooth vocals with high tinny cymbols, nice clarity)
Smashing Pumpkins- Drown (from Singles soundtrack, this song has a sharp screaming guitar about the 5 or 6 minute mark that you MUST turn down the volume for lest you be calling customer service for a new tweeter!!)
Sting- Fragile (soft sounds, i like the song)
Suo Gan- Ambrosian Junior Choir (Empire of the Sun soundtrack, beautiful solo vocal, pure and clear)
The Rankin Family- Rise again (one note near the end hits a really high female pitch but should be perfectly smooth)
The Sundays- Summertime (the twangs at the beginning really test the treble levels, i am not sure why it was recorded that way but on any speaker so far i've found that noise piercing)
Watchman- Holiday (their latest release from this Winnipeg band which has some really rigorous mids and lows that truly test the distortion of your drivers)
Whales- Contemplation (being a biologist i pick these things up along the way, nothing better to test subsonic noise up to squealing pitches like whale notes!!)
