New Speakers → I don't do anything different
New music library from scratch - if we talk local → I fall back to my Bandcamp, Soundcloud, YouTube Music, or radio
You must have a favoured song that is the first to come to your mind when you have a clean slate.
Not really.
Sometimes a song catches me and I listen to it on repeat. Other times an artist. Or genre.
There's no single fav.
Tally Hall - Hymn for a Scarecrow
Green Day - Jaded
Omg it has such a strong guitar background. A bit too strong, I felt.
Baroness - First&Second EP

If it doesn't sound too flat or too bassy and I want to bang my head to it, that's a deal.
I was in theatre school for a while. We touched on everything related to a theatre production, including sound. Our tech would always test his setup with Paul Simon's Getting Ready For Christmas Day.
I've heard that song used to calibrate audio setups so often that it's become easy to identify any issues when I hear it.
Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
Or
The Black Keys - Brothers
Fever Days by Snowmine. It's what I did when I got my first good set of headphones, and it was pretty magical.
Hey this just happened to me. I played Atlantic by Sleep Token to shop for then test speaker stuff
Big Tymers-Still Fly. It gets to a part where it goes “2 15’s didn’t see no wires, then I heard BOOM from the amplifier.” If the house/car doesn’t shake then it’s not enough bass.
Max Cooper - Spike (The best benchmark I've ever heard)
If I want to impress people I play Mountains (Interstellar) by Hans Zimmer.
Florence + the Machine - June
Just to open it gently
"Frank's Wild Years"
