Looking to ID some great sounding cds you might uses to audtion new speakers. Buying new speakers and looking for suggestions as everything I have heard is thru 25 year old units.
Audiowoman, good low end bass too. I just added a REL sub to my monitors and after @ a year away from full range forgot that the Tracy Chapman CD has decent low's as well!
Precisely, bring the music you like. When I audition speakers I intentionally bring some CDs that I like that are garbage to see how the speakers handle them.
Definitely useful but I'd be careful selecting speakers that way. If the audio quality really is garbage like Metallica's latest overcompressed POS then you are going to end up with speakers that beat the signal into submission. These same speakers are unlikely to make a quality good recording shine - assuming you listen to other CD's.
Please read what I wrote. I said that *some* of the CDs I bring are garbage (and that doesn't mean absolute crap, what I was talking about are recordings similar in quality to The Killers Sam's Town album); of course one should bring well recorded CDs to an audition as well as ones in between.
