Best sounding SACD regardles of music

The full potential of SACD is not realized unless your system is multichannel, with good speakers all around. The stereo audio quality improvement over a well made CD, is real, but not dramatic enough to impress your audience.

For demo I would recommend these:

Audiophile Reference IV (All tracks are great, you get a little bit of everything) (FIM)

SuperBass2 - Ray Brown Trio (Try tracks 4 & 6) (Telarc)

Scary Music (Try tracks 4, 10, & 12) (Telarc)

Live Recordings At Red Rose Music, Volume 1 (Try tracks 1 & 6)

McCoy Tyner Quartet: New York Reunion (Try track 5) (Chesky Records)

Babatunde Olatunji-Circle of Drums. This disc is unreal! Superb recording on the Chesky label.

Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" sounded pretty darn good to me. Richard Burton's deep, sonorous narration coupled with some great songs by the Moody Blues (among others) and you've got a very nice SACD to listen to.
