Best SQ and SPL tracks

Recommended Posts

What tracks/songs/albums are great to test

- SQ and

- SPL

on a kick ass system?

I mostly listen to Urban and Dance. Here are some of my favourites for SPL:

- Pretty much anything by Lil Jon

- Petey Pablo - Freek a leek

- Petey Pablo - Vibrate (the video clip is awesome ;) )

- Lil Flip - Gameover

- Ashanti - Only you

- Ciara featuring Petey Pablo - Goodies

- Fat Joe featuring Lil Jon, Eminem and Mase - Lean Back (remix)

- Ludacris - Saturday

The system I own isn't very good for SQ to say the least :lol: I can't really think of any good songs for SQ.

spaceship-kanye west

salt shaker-yinyang twins

kim-eminem (I just have to say wow when you have four 15" Comp VRs hooked up with this song)

I've found for SPL setups, anything of Dre's off the 2001 album is amazing; he seems to love that higher frequency bass.

as for SQ----Eagles "Hell freezes over" is a good set up CD as is Enya (only time)

I also like Dire Staits"Brothers in Arms"

Now personally I kinda like hearing very hard to reproduce sounds to test SQ....

Korn "Alone I break"

Led Zepplin "stairway to heaven"

Some Classical works wonders

Slipknot "Wait and Bleed"

Sevendust "Love me dead"

There's a whole bunch more but can;t think of them all without the Bible infront of me.

I listen to quite a bit of classic rock ... and I've been using more and more of it lately for SQ testing/adjusting/tuning/show off.

Some of the stuff isn't recorded real well, but then you get stuff like Meatloaf :P
