Speaker punishing bass


I was wondering if anybody had suggestions for quality recordings with frightening bass. I use several discs for auditioning speakers to see if they can stand up without distorting. My favorites are: Vic Wooten with the Flecktones, Marcus Miller, Copland's "Fanfare for a Common Man", Edgar Meyer's "Uncommon Ritual" and "Passage" by the Empire Brass Quintet. While bass isn't the last word it has made short work of some speaker choices. As always I look forward to any suggestions.

1. tangerine dream--barryl blue. From the box set compilation. this has 2 twin lead bass guitars, plus their synthesizers at this frequency operating close by.
2. german pressing of spotlight kid by captain beefheart. "i'm gonna booglarize you" . You'll see how good your speakers do w/ this cranked up.
3. 12" import single "radioactivity" by kraftwerk. the 2 drummers and the synthesizers are low on this.
4. If you want to pay, those harry partch albums on gate 5 records feature the catharsis he built--it extends 2 octaves below the low c on a cello.
5. 12" single from 82 of "blue monday" by new order is a good one w/ that percussion and bass.
6. the 12" single from england of relax, by frankie goes to hollywood is good--make sure you have the 9 minute version.
7. 12" single from germany; "lucifer" by alan parsons project.
8. "peon" by captain beefheart from the lick my decals off baby album--you always have to get imports on the beefheart stuff.
9. 12" single from germany of van halen--running with the devil.
