As the title suggest, what’s the best pipe organ to get that fat juicy 20Hz response?

Jongen: Symphonie Concertante ( Telarc ).  Not sure it hits 20Hz, but it will shake the room .  Another would be Respighi: Pines of Rome, II. Pines Near a Catacomb. ( CSO, Reiner )

Wow, I did not expect a reply but thanks for sharing. I will try and give it a listen.

Another that has good organ sound is Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition for Organ. Jean Guillou ( Dorian )

EDIT:  this is not an organ piece, but it goes seriously low.  Not sure Sonos can handle it… Pete Belasco: Deeper, Track 2 “Deeper”.  My KEF KC62 handles it well.

The cannon at the end of the 1812 Overture is interesting. The original LP release on Telarc records would throw many tone arms off the track.
