Songs to show off components?

"Show-off"

A show-off is a person who attracts attention by frequently demonstrating their talents. The tone of the word varies depending on the speaker's relationship with the subject, although it is most usually employed in a mildly mocking manner.

I think these songs fit the definition...

Aphex Twin – Ageispolis

Boards of Canada – Wildlife Analysis

Boards of Canada – Music Is Math

RJD2 – Smoke & Mirrors

DJ Shadow – Fixed Income

UNKLE – Unkle (Main Title Theme)

DJ Format – Black Cloud

Handsome Boy Modeling School – Rock And Roll

RJD2 – Final Frontier

Gym Class Heroes – 1st period: The Queen And I

DJ Danger Mouse – Change Clothes

Amon Tobin – Four Ton Mantis

cut chemist – What's The Altitude (Feat. Hymnal)

DJ Shadow – Organ Donor

Oh by the way, it's better if you play the cds instead of the ipod. You lose some of the detail when you convert to AAC from audio.

Ghost in The Shell: Stand Alone Complex sound tracks. Any volume - the songs are speaker torture tests and are my reference test tracks.

If your stuff is actually good, it'll shine with this music.

excellent thread ~ on my last SQ competition system (OZ 6.5"s/TRU 4x100) I used to play "Sultans of Swing" (Dire Straits, already mentioned) and see jaws drop - ahhh the nice solid doors of German-made automobiles...
