Also be careful, if you can't hear a sine above 15 kHz for instance,
it is more then likely your ears aren't hearing it; do not crank it
up, I did once and had to replace my beloved tweeters :(
I had to listen to my music without tweeters for a few weeks. It
sounded horriful, that sound hurted me more than the cost of two new
tweeters.
By the way, personally I test speakers with pink noise, that tells me
a lot about their overall sound / balance. And then I use some solo
things like acoustic guitar and spoken word. It is with spoken words,
or accapella singing, both done by males and females that the true
sound of the speaker is heard where it counts the most - according to
me. But by all means, listen to soundsamples that you are very
familiar with, both at low volume, normal volume and high volume.
