Playing my friends SX-1050 at high volume with the Cincinnati Pops version of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture on SACD. The cannons in this are extreme and perfect for seriously testing an amp's ability to handle large bursts of power. My SPL meter was holding at just over 100dB with the bursts reaching 112dB.
Note: I do not recommend doing this and don't do this myself except to test an amp, I predetermined a high but safe volume level as to not overdrive the amp or speakers and I had hearing protection as well.
