I got

Aja - Steely Dan

What are some other really good albums to use to test the lows & highs and are pure sonic bliss?

Possibly the best Steely Dan album of them all, lol.

I have a MOFI version of Dark Side of the Moon. The sound quality is incredible.

Also I've found a great song for testing woofers and sub-woofers. It's called Spyroid by Ozric Tentacles. There's a part near the beginning that produces some extremely low frequencies.

The lowest low I have on an album is on the album Däfos by Mickey Hart and happens on the track called Psychopomp. You can't get the same effect from YouTube but play the album on a stereo with speakers that can handle it and it shakes the earth.

Psychopomp

And the first Doors album---excellent quality. Put a little volume on "Alabama Song" and you will see what I mean. The entire album was done well for 1967.
