The best way to test speakers is with test equipment that uses a test signal. Some test signals are sequences that sound like noise, some are actual noise and some are sine waves and swept sines.
But I think you're looking for an informal "seat of your pants" test. In that case, use material you are familiar with so you already know what to expect.
