Good CD for testing bass response

Hi folks:

Got a new set of speakers and of course going through the requisite set up and best room placement. Working on the short wall of the room and want to know what cd others have found with repetitive low bass that allows time for speaker movement to get best results. I'm sure I've got something in the collection but am racking my brain for the right one. Your help is most appreciated.

Bass 2000 - Mission 1. This CD even has a warning label, stating: Warning! Mega low bass may damage speakers, use with caution! This CD will definitely give your speakers a work out!

If you want to hear some really great bass guitar - then Level 42's first CD, simply titled, Level 42.

Emmylou Harris, Spyboy. Deeper Well has an amazing deep and nuanced funky bass line that will go right down through the floor but everything else too On this cd sounds amazing-- all live recorded by Daniel lanois. Also thievery corporation--richest man in Babylon. Many radiohead tracks work too.

I second Theo's Bela Fleck suggestion. I always include a sampling of Bela when auditioning new gear. Only problem is that once you buy one album, you'll want/need to buy the rest.

I would also agree with Theo. The Bella Fleck track is useful for a variety of purposes. Really works the amp, speakers, walls, windows and ears, Should also come with a warning label. I have a theory that you can improve or change the bass characteristics of a system slightly by running this sort of track on repeat.
