You're favorite CD for breaking in new speakers...


My recently purchased speakers (Escalante Design's Fremonts) came with setup instructions that suggested NOT using burn-in specific discs. They feel that full range titles with dense midranges work best.

So my cd title of choice has been and is Tori Amos' "Strange Little Girls". Vocals are very rich and palpable, synth bass goes deep and highs are very extended. Though several cuts may have limited appeal there is much to enjoy, but hey, I've always been a fan.

All suggestions appreciated as I have several hundred more hours to go.

I'd use Radiohead's "Hail to the Thief", if that's a genre you enjoy. Dense. Dynamic. Frequency extremes.
Also volume set to the level you normally listen on.

The manufacturer of my loudspeakers recommends loud volume, FWIW.

I like the suggestion of "Back in Black" and the "Black Album". Those two will certainly do it.
