Another Telarc Holst Suites 1&2, Mercury re-issue 1812 Overture, etc more for dynamics than low Hz with the bronze cannon and Riverside Chapel Carillon going at it. Watch out when you start a listening session with the Eurythmics Sweet Dreams, the opening bass is baaad, especially in your car.
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.
