1. "Hotel California" - Eagles

"Hotel California" is a classic track known for its intricate guitar work and dynamic range. The opening guitar solo alone is a great test of speaker clarity and detail. Listen for the separation between instruments and the detail in the acoustic guitars.
 

2. "Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen

This iconic rock opera by Queen is perfect for testing both the dynamic and frequency range of your speakers. From the gentle piano to the bombastic operatic sections, "Bohemian Rhapsody" will push your system to its limits.
 

3. "Billie Jean" - Michael Jackson

The tight bassline and clear vocal delivery in "Billie Jean" are ideal for testing bass response and midrange clarity. Pay attention to how well the speakers handle the punchy bass and crisp percussion.
 

4. "Take Five" - Dave Brubeck Quartet

Jazz enthusiasts will appreciate "Take Five" for its complex rhythms and instrumental clarity. The saxophone and drum solos will reveal the precision and tonal balance of your speakers.

Modern pop tracks like "Shape of You" are excellent for testing bass response and overall speaker punch. The production values and layered instrumentation will reveal the true capabilities of your sound system.

"Stairway to Heaven" is a timeless rock ballad that transitions from acoustic to electric. This track will test the transition from soft to loud and the overall dynamic range of your speakers.
 

7. "Royals" - Lorde

The minimalistic production in "Royals" highlights Lorde's vocals and deep bass. It's a great track to assess how well your speakers handle sparse arrangements and bass-heavy beats.
 

8. "Superstylin’" - Groove Armada

Nice bass combination to test your woofer along with some nice vocals to test our "mids" as well.

Have you already watched Groove Armada playing live at our Deezer Sessions? They were playing their hits at the rooftop in the Deezer HQ in Paris!!

I think there should at least be one track with classical music, but it’s hard to decide which one. The last time I contributed to a similar thread here I probably chose one from Gustav Mahler’s 8th Symphony with Sir Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra - so why not make it three this time? 😉
 

 


Rumors by Fleetwood Mac  is one of the best sounding albums ever in my opinion . It is absolutely amazing with a good set of speakers or buds . One of my fav songs from that album is The Chain :
