Man o man.....there are so many great recordings in the generalized classical space. I find Trevor Pinnock's early 80's recording with the English Concert of Handel's Water Music to be spectacular in every way.
My favorite awesome sounding jazz recording is Dick Hyman's From the Age of Swing on Reference Recordings. The red-book CD is phenomenal. If you have a way to play RR's HRx version, and you can obtain a copy of it, it's stunning--almost unbelievable!
My pop music choice would be the Dire Straits song, Money for Nothing. When you want to display your system's muscle and ability to play loud and clean, this recording is the perfect choice. I also love the way the instruments and voices have been placed on the sound stage. It's a fantastic recording!
