I am getting new speakers in a few weeks with a ribbon tweeter. I want to see how extended and sweet the ribbons are. What cd's mostly, are great to test out a systems highs? Thanks, Todd
On CD look for Vaughan Williams the Lark Ascending with Iona Brown on violin and Neville Marriner conducting. The finest semi-quavers I have heard yet and a brilliant recording for violin.
Into The Labyrinth-MoFi SACD Dead Can Dance. The first cut will test your highs nicely. It will test your lows as well! Great album with outstanding female and male vocals.
Thanks everyone ! Really appreciate all the great recs. I love Dead can dance. I have most of their CDs . I do like jazz,blue grass,folk,alt country,rock Would female opera singers be a good test as well?
whether female opera would do what you want. One good recommendation would be Joan Sutherland available on arkivmusic.com as Classic Recitals-Joan Sutherland Opera Arias. It goes back to 1959. The flexibility of the voice is amazing, have not heard anyone else who came near. She never sounded that good by the mid 60's. Highly recommended.
