Re: Top 5 - Must Sound Good Audition CDs

155.218.56.95

1) PINK FLOYD : "Dogs of War" for subsonic bass frequency extension. Its got to remove chaulking from windows & plaster from walls to be bass. Everything else is just superficial.

2) ENYA : "Orinco Flow" will show off/up your upper HF XO & your tweeters LF & your midrange HF. The diaphrams make breakup / ring. The drivers may be forced to perform above their linear bands. Metal domes distort her voice radically.

3) KANSAS : "Dust in the Wind" will demonstrate HF XO phase. Anything irregular will make the song hollow & artificial. Box & speaker size standing waves also show up like sore thumbs.

4) CARS (DCC) : "Moving in Stereo" for proper sonic-field development. This song has an accurately balanced moving image. If the speakers are too initmate, the sound will hop between speakers. If the speakers are too loose, interfernece patterns overwhelm the sound (BOSEan). If the drivers aren't matched the virtual image's depth is a function of frequency.

5) QUARTERFLASH : "Harden My Heart" to check cymbal strikes & sax & kick drum sonic voices. This requires proper suspensions & stiff diaphrams on all drivers. Otherwise, the result is blurred & muddy.
