Bass audition for your system....

HSU has files you can download to test your bass.  It includes white noise at different frequencies and some orchestral recordings that can make it feel like your house is trying to tear itself apart with the right subwoofers - http://files.hsuresearch.com/downloads/

Some music I like to listen to with good bass includes Boz Scaggs - Speak Low, Far East Movement - Like a G6, Donald Fagen - What I Do, and Deadmau5 - Some Chords.  Those are just a few off the top of my head.

Beastie Boys "Paul Revere"

Which recording of the organ symphony are you referring to?

When you test bass don’t miss to try songs where the bass has to fight with the kick-drum and other instruments to be heard. The bass resolution is just as important as the capability to play bass alone. Eagles "I can’t tell you why" would be one example. Greg Brown and Glen Hansard others. Nice recommendations above. Sting is good to try while his bass playing after the Police I think is mostly very subtile and hard to reproduce as it should be heard. A probably not so internationally well-known recording with reference sound over-all is Katzen Kapell "Katzen Kapell". A real struggle......will I ever get that one right?.

gosta, I'll look up the Saint-Saenz symphony when I get home but I think it is the Eugene Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra on Telarc or London.

Agree about bass resolution. That is probably one of the main things I like in a system. The 'thump' is nice but distinguishing kick drum from bass guitar in a complex arrangement is what I really look for. That's where Steely Dan-Two Against Nature shines.
