If you really want to test speakers you need to enlist Hotblack Desiato and Disaster Area.
(I believe they were in fact inspired by Pink Floyd and their Venice concert in particular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcxzaBSzlH0 )
NOT this Hotblack Desiato though...

2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions and extended leather. Ski hatch retrofit. Aftermarket reversing camera. DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant.
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Personally, I prefer to test with the live version of Iron Maiden's "The Clairvoyant", even the Bose in the D3 doesn't quite get it right but is absolutely stonking with most classical stuff (target audience I suppose).

Comfortably Numb is a pretty good test as well. (Or Run Like Hell which ended that Venice concert, apparently causing a fair bit of damage to various buildings!)
