Does any one have a list of songs that can be used to test the new speakers?
I would like to burn them on cd and take it to the dealer.
Preferably english since they are usually easier to find 
Need that to test Altec ATP3 speakers 
and the Sony MHC RV-22 VDC-MP3 system.
Well it may sound silly but I find Kenny G is quite good to test reproduction of pure notesâŚ
then try any song with heavy bass⌠Real McCoy for background beats.
well,
Trance maybe Robert Miles
Metal maybe Metallica or New age metal like Linkin Park
a bit of jazz and
so RAP (crap) u know, just to check out the speech clarity
hope this helps
speakers usually perform well on high frequencies so take some heavy metal stuf with you.
KennyG bryan adams enrique will all sound good on any speaker⌠but metallica or other heavy stuff makes em sweat.
will try out the suggestions ..
So far I have short listed 2 songs for the low-end tests.
Song: Burning down the house
Artist: Talking heads
A very good track has realy good bass and great voice clarity. Had heard it on bose a long time ago 
Song: Brother in arms
Artist: Dire straits
The first minute of this song seems like a real good test for bass.
Planning to throw in Kenny G and Linkin park for some general tests.
B.T.W any one heard of sine torture tests ? It was mentioned on couple of sites as good artifical test to use but donât know where to get the track from
well..i had a small mp3 file called âsubwoofer Testâ, it shook the iwndows of my room on my ATP3 
will upload as soon as i get itâŚ
ATP3: only major drawback is the âdownward firingâ mid-range driver IMHO. gives the sound that feeling of well âŚ, (how when u use the âloudâ switch that you find on many systems, you know where the low and high frequencies are enhanced.)
overall a good product for its price range (locally) of about Rs. 3000~3200.
ps: sound is subjective. The perception of it varies from person to person.
One single song, that almost any DJ cross the world uses to test speaker systems is Sultans of SwingâŚ
The riffs, the strains and the bass voice of da man himself + the cymbals make it (almost) the perfect songâŚ
For testing the heavy bass beats, pick up any house /trance number
2 songs should be enuff I guess
hey sultans of swing gives crisp bass on my atp3,u shud try it out too(sutans of swing).
try out hotel california by the eagles and âeasier to runâ by Linkin Park.all hav solid bass.
oh yeah,the first song i heard on my atp3 was âpushing me awayâ by linkin park and i was stunned by the bass of the ATP3.u shud definitely try out this song.
If you have it, try using Dance of Eternity from Dream Theater. 90% of the speakers struggle to reproduce the double bass in that song properly. Also speakers have a burn in period. If you listen to brand new speakers, they wonât sound the same as the same set thats been used for say a week. So try to get the demo on an old set and not a brand new one.
for testing the bass, try IIO- Runaway Original MixâŚ
it shook mah room windows at medium volume and full bassâŚ
is ur room made of cardboard sunny? every song u play, ur room just âshakes upâ 
nah manâŚjust tht small subwoofer song and thisâŚ
oh yeah⌠Bally sagoo - Chura liyaâŚnice bass, but no window shakin
Prodigy- Smack ma bitch up
Astral Projection : mahadeva

For low bass
Bela Fleck and the Flectones - Flight of the cosmic hippo
Many tracks of Bela Fleck have low bass. Vitor Wooten plays bass for Bela Fleck.
Also many tracks in following soundtracks have low bass
Titanic OST
Hunt for the Red October
Ice Station Zebra
For a full range of vocals I would recamend Led Zepplinâs âImagrint Songâ.
I donât have spell check on this putter, so I hope I got it right. LoL
Got my ATP3 just before weekend, was off on small weekend trip so could not post. Got it from Rashi@pune for 3,150
The speakers sound great really mind blowing âŚ
