[QUOTE="breese, post: 1135530, member: 114299"] I use a number of different movies and music to test my audio system. One of the best is either version of the movie Fantasia. Makes great use of all channels. Also depending on the Amp being used (if one), most within the last 8 to 10 years have built in channel tests allowing for each channel and sub to be tested for volume and other settings.
