Let's put it this way. What albums do you go to when demonstrating your system? 

Anything but "Year of the Cat."

Why do you not like Year of the Cat? LOL I have the new box set with the 5.1 Dolby and it is VERY well recorded on my system. My favorite and show off disc is Eagle's at Melbourne. Jeff Becks at Ronnie Scotts is a close second... But I think most on this forum prefer stereo. I like to be surrounded....  

Try Al DeMeola's Scenario. Along with Al's virtuoso guitar work, Tony Levin's bass stick will tickle your wobbly bits, and Jan Hammer's keyboard playing is on par with anything he's ever done. Rounding out the band with Phil Collins and Bill Bruford on Drums and an extremely well produced mix, you have a disc that can tax the best of systems. Caution: careful with the low end!
