I'm shopping for speakers--so far the Definitive Tech 7000 series is my
reference standard (I'd also love suggestions for speakers in the
~$2000-a-stereo-set range) and I would welcome suggestions for really
well-recorded natural-sounding CDs to audition speakers.

I would mostly be looking for acoustic content and mostly small groups,
so I can listen to individual instruments and voices.

The Sheffield Drum Track is an absolute must-have in my opinion.

Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Sessions
San Francisco Choral Artists - Star of Wonder (also has some good organ)
Michael Newman - Classical Guitarist (Sheffield Lab 10)
Holly Cole - Don't Smoke in Bed (good piano and voice)
