Guilty Pleasures Test Tracks

Way back when... I used Pentangle's "When I Was In My Prime," from Cruel Sister as a speaker demo.  I used it for demonstration of my stereo too.  It is a solo, acapella song by Jacqui McShee, not really Pentangle.  But it showed all the cabinet resonances that the speakers of the day had.  There was nothing to cover up any problems, just a voice.  If it sounded "chesty" there was something wrong.

I still like it.  It is good at showing buzzes or cabinet resonances.

If you need bass, try a copy of Stereophile's test disks.  They have bass warble tones that will activate any room/fixture resonances you need to excite.  (I'll burn you a copy)  Can I say that????
