If you haven't heard it already, the newest DreamTheatre album - Black Clouds and Silver Linings - is excellent.
For those that dont know, its modern prog rock/metal.
Excellent production and some great stereo testers

Their newest one is pretty good though.
Alright here's one you will agree with no doubt
Opeth - Blackwater Park.
I dug it out yesterday and if you like the heavier, darker side of metal, well worth a listen

Blackwater park is good, maybe ranks about opeth's fifth or sixth best for me although most seem to put it much higher, I just can't stand
the first couple of mins of the funeral portrait and I don't like Bleak. Blackwater park and drapery falls stand out as awesome songs but it
doesn't feel like an album to me, more a collection of songs, whereas earlier opeth albums fit together as one. Nothing matches Still Life for
atmosphere ^_^ Even Opeth that ranks low down is still better than most things 
Some good loud metal to test your speakers:
Cult of Luna - Salvation (track 1 ftw)
Morgion - Cloaked by Ages, Crowned in Earth
Jesu - Silver
Portal - Outre
I wish I had a flip hot audio system, I think I'd want to listen to Emperor - the loss and curse of reverence very loud first m/ >.< m/
