I'd like to fine tune my 5.1 set-up.

What audio set-up CD would you recommend for setting up 5.1 home theatre?

I love the colours and picture refresh on my 50'' Panasonic Plasma. Do need to close the curtains though because I couldn't afford the anti-glare screen. Also depends on the make of Plasma, LCD or LED you buy. You?ll have to suffer somewhere either on feature or on cost  :)
