Music for setting up speakers


Im setting up my 30yr old Martin Logan Sequel II’s. I followed some ML guidelines and it was pretty straight forward. They are 8’ apart and 8’ from me. I towed them in using a flashlight and beam reflection, it was pretty easy, same for the reflection to be sure one isnt tilted forward or backward more than the other.

I’ve been listening to some Tidal tracks and wondering what you listen to to confirm your setup is right for you.

I listened to some solo violin and cello, some folky vocals, some Led Zepp just because :0)

maybe music where instruments are easily located ect

Thanx

The best music for unboxing and setting up is undoubtedly Yello, this is what I found most appropriate for my Moabs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jJkdRaa04g  

I would really recommend streaming only in extreme circumstances where the turntable is broken, someone stole all your records, etc.

@millercarbonThat Yello video was like Stan Lee meets the Teletubbies and Monty Python on acid.
As for the OP, I have always found using a quartet for classical, or something recorded live in a small venue to be a good starting point. Might not be to your taste, but the first Hot Tuna Album is all acoustic folk/blues in a small venue for instance.

Is it possible someone missed one of the most blatant pop culture references of all time??! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLPu3Z6Tjg4
Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
