Carl, I for one would very much like to hear another YouTube of your system in its current format should you find the time and convenient for you. Perhaps a recording with Vocal accompanying Relativly complex instrumentation.
"They Are Here" or "We Are There"?

I purchase mainly via Amazon or their cooperating sellers if the price is better. SACD is the main Mch format and I have been heavily influenced by the following site, formerly known as sa-cd.net:
http://hraudio.net/
Every SACD ever made is listed there, often with reviews that I find useful and credible. It is easy to filter a search by just Mch, by genre, by format, etc. or just to search for a specific composer, etc.
But, I also enjoy many Blu-Ray videos in Mch, especially opera, but also live concerts. Blu-Ray Mch sound is often surprisingly good, even if only at 48k/24 bit resolution. The hraudio site lists BD-Audio discs but, unfortunately, not BD-Videos.
Thanks. I also have lots of BluRay concerts. I will check out your recommendation for finding and purchasing more MCH music. Much appreciated.
Sure, maybe next week. The system vids were casual knock off for when people were interested in the general configuration but had never seen it. It doesn't show the four rear speakers, the subs, or the processors.
I had a vid of "Abbey Road" but the YouTube copyright censors removed the sound track.
Another couple where YouTube didn't erase the sound:

Like I said, these are just off the cuff with the wobbly camera. Also, bass sounds like it is cut off at the knees.
Ron,
Please pardon my ignorance as I am a trial and error / "experience it" guy when it comes to high end audio. But as I understand your room is still under construction and you don't have the speakers. What exactly will she be measuring? What will be generating the signals?
And what kind of recommendations can one make from measurements? Is it like remedy this peak or dip, or is it more involved?
As requested by Harlequin:

The Chorale is a bit right centric, which seems to be the way it is recorded, and is pretty much a pale shadow of how it sounds through the system. It was recorded with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw environment setting. The record is a thrift and is a bit warped.
The other is a Duke Ellington played through Roxy environment.
Best listened with headphones through computer for vague surround effect.
Picture of the recording device, studio quality not, Hah
