Three tracks? I’m looking for certain attributes:
Impact / attack: Lust for life - Iggy Pop… if the first 20 seconds don’t have you dancing & grinning, and slightly scared, the system lacks Impact
Vocal purity… And ‘weight’ of piano
Scale! Procession of the Sardar
Timing : for a bonus, to check the ‘timing’ of a system (or a room) … at about 2 minutes in - the music in this track starts and stops rapidly.. which sounds breathtaking on a system that can pull it off… leaving what feels like a vacuum hanging in the air for a moment. Lightweight cones and single driver speakers rule here
Have fun
P.s. I’m using a pair of genelec monitors at the moment, and while nice, they basically fail at all of the above
