Here's something to test with!

It's a quad-recording of USSS Discovery blasting off - taken from the nearest vantage point 3.1 miles away. To reproduce this at that distance would take approx. 20,000MW, yes 20 thousand million watts.

I have taken the 4-channel recordings and put them in an easy-to-play 5.1 FLAC file @24/96khz. I don't care how good your system is - this will stretch it. There is bass extending well below 20hz that on a big system will literally thump your chest. Actually reproducing this correctly is virtually impossible with HI-FI equipment.

Make sure you're set-up for 5.1 with bass management and matrix the 7.1 speakers if you have them.

Sit back and adjust the volume so the ambient noise of a few spectators seems about right, and hold the remote ready for blast-off

Enjoy, but be careful on your equipment For anyone with an SPL meter, if it hits 126db you have the right output lol

I'll be sure to keep it in reserve for the appropriate time(s) the kids are misbehaving.
