Songs for Speaker Placement

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my soundstage and imaging right, and experimenting with toe-in, distance apart and etc.

I noticed every song is recorded somewhat differently and this makes it harder. Does anyone know of a list of good songs that can be used as reference for soundstage, imaging, vocals...

Thanks...

Hmmm. 

Wasn't "Songs for Speaker Placement" a Wayne Brady segment from "Whose Line Is It Anyway" ??

Seriously, I second newbee's recommendation of Opus 3's "Depth of Image".

I don't know if this will help you in setting up soundstage and imaging but, if you put on Stevie Ray Vaugn - "Tin Pan Alley." I've never heard a track with a wider soundstage. Absolutely cavernous!!!

One of the best songs for vocal is Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark , I used to use that a lot when i was selling hifi.. if you can find a good quality source of  that song.
