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.

Hers's a few to try:
1) MC 900 Ft. Jesus, One Step Ahead of the Spider, tracks 2 and 3,
2) Erich Kunzel, Best of on Telarc, track 20, Jurassic Lunch,
3) Blue Man Group, Audio (on HDCD), any track with the Big Drum, esp. #4,
4) Yello, Pocket Universe, tracks 5 and 10,
5) Don Dorsey, Beethoven or Bust, track 13 and Bachbusters, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, both on Telarc; track 13 on Beethoven or Bust has one of the most vicious hits I've heard.
