Can someone please suggest a good track to test a speaker. Any suggestion on a good music track to demo a speaker a track which has good vocals, instrumental stuff, Bass Guitar, Drums (BASS) Like a Rock-n-Roll Kinda Music may be a Elvis Era Music. I don't know. I am not in to that kind of music so don't know how to best explain it or describe it. But something warm, like a song with proper everything that I have mentioned above.

I am never an expert but works best for me was using an album that, to my ears sound very well produced and is something I know well and listen to regularly. I brought Together Through Life, Old Ideas and Fat of the Land.

The Fat of the Land is not that well produced, unless you are using an LP. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=The%20Prodigy
Great album though.
My choice would be Massive Attack - Blue Lines. It is extremely well produced and the songs are epic. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/159

A good "test piece" that I have used in the past is Labi Siffre's "Something Inside So Strong". Tinkly instruments, Labi's voice, then a baseline cuts in. By the time the backing choir arrives I have a good idea if the equipment I'm listening to is a good one for me. A lot depends on what type of music you like. Take a few favourites with you to a demo.

Anything you love and know well including any challenging or sub-par recordings that - despite their shortcomings - you are still going to want to listen to.
For me I would also include something with prominent brass and something with well recorded spoken voice.
You don't want to listen to 'fireworks' at the demo only to get home with it and find that it sounds ordinary with all your familiar music.

Indeed epic! This one is always on my list. The 'wooooshhh' at the beginning of unfinished sympathy tells me a lot about the kit i'm listening to
Furtermore some female vocals to test the hf: ane brun, tori amos, rebecca pidgeon.
And finally some live albums: porcupine tree, rush...
Regards,
Great idea spockfish. Best LIVE albums for testing.
I always consider Hugh Masekela - Hope and The Who - Live At Leeds.

Try Sam Smiths "in the lonely hour" cd
good imaging on the vocals - good bass on the 'dance' tracks and warmth on the ballads
excellent tester.
