This thread is awesome! I've been able to uncover quite a few artists that I've never heard of before and really like, and would have never listened to before. I wish I had something to add, but everything I use has already been mentioned.

Keep 'em coming!

Tool - Lateralus

Ive tested so many speakers with "The Grudge"

Pink Floyd is great to test with as well.

No offense but Tool is not Audiophile...

You might like it... But still not Audiophile...

Peter Frampton -- Fingerprints

Intrumental CD. His cover of Black Hole Sun is amazing.

I had almost forgotten about Frampton until I saw him in concert about a year ago. Now his music just keeps finding its way back on my playlist.

Last time I checked audiophile generally referred to the quality of the recording and quality of the reproduction by the speakers. Genre has nothing to do with it; so unless you know that the quality of Tool cd's isnt too good (could easily be the case)....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Out of all my music (sinatra, Ska, alternative, metal, punk, cultural, etc...) the best track I have for testing mid-bass and bass reproduction with excellent recording quality is by some horribly mainstream punk band....

Although you make valid points, Mr. Tama is correct. Tool is great and I listen to them all the time, but I wouldn't put it up against my top recordings...

Ill side with you guys then. I dont listen to them and cant comment on the recording quality; just wanted to comment on the whole genre thing.

I didn't think he pointed towards any genre at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Yea I realize that. I just have never understood the Tool SQ rage. To me they are poorly mixed and do not show the balance of a system at all.

Don Henley -- Actual Miles is a good CD to pick up.

Boys of Summer is probably my favorite song off that CD.
