Hi Everyone!

I have SUB configured with two PLAY:1's in a stereo pair and was wondering what everyones favourite songs are that you think really brings out the best of SUB and the wonderful stereo imaging that the PLAY:1's provide!

I'd be keen to hear any kind of music and really want to bring out the most of my system with a wide variety of tracks!

Thanks in advanced!

Time for another suggestion: Try James Blake's of "Limit to your Love" to really plumb the depths with your SUB (in a good way!). Turn it up and you will feel it as much as hear it - just make sure all moveable objects are bolted down first...

Then, for a complete contrast and to explore the musicality of the Plays, listen to the original version by Canadian singer/songwriter, Feist.

Yet another one to add: Light Years Away by Oliver

Fully agree Josh, massive track.

You can also try those ones, pretty explosive!
Mason - Exceeder (Felguk Remix)
Bastian Van Shield - Nobody (Tujamo Remix)
Micky Slim - Brass Rail (Original Mix)
Torren Foot - Rondo (Original Mix)
Nina Kraviz - Ghetto Kraviz (Amine Edge)
Urban Monkeys - Dance Baby (Dopamine Remix)
Spencer And Hill - Cool (Afrojack Remix)

Just got my sub and loving it.

A good song for me to test the sub is - Camelphat - Constellations.

James Blake's - Limit to your Love goes to depths I haven't heard before!

There are quite a few that I have to add from Porter Robinson' Worlds Remixed LP:
Sad Machine (Deon Custom remix)
Flicker (Mat Zo remix)
Polygon Dust (Sleepy Tom remix)
Goodbye To A World (Chrome Sparks remix)

Songs that sound awesome from that album anyway:
Divinity (ODESZA remix) [Sounds like Moby]
Fresh Static Snow (Last Island remix) [Trust me it sounds amazing]
Sea Of Voices (Galimatias remix) [Nice jazzy take on this slow song]
Hear The Bells (Electric Mantis remix)

Let me add Partition by Beyonce to the mix. Give the song 15 seconds (after she says hey Mrs. Carter) and your speakers will explode. Every SONOS speaker sounds ridiculous with his song.

Well, I still don't have a Sub, but what about Sympathy from Steve Rowland & Family Dog for some serious bass? Sounds pretty low on my Stereo Gen 1 Play 5s already. Hmmm, Iron Sky from Paolo Nutini wouldn't be that bad either.

Nice suggestions Hermie. I've enjoyed what Paolo Nutini I've heard.

Let me add 'Unfinished Sypathy' by Massive Attack. At the start of the song your SUB will blow you away!!
