For years, no DECADES, the US magazine "Consumer Reports" recommended it for that purpose.

I didn't know that. Shows both good taste and good judgement :)
"Consumer Reports" is leftpondian so I wouldn't have heard about that, especially not in the 70s when comms were slightly slower and more expensive.
"Which?" is the rightpondian version of CR

Since I was a kid, Dark side of the moon was considered a reference test for bass range of speakers..

I guess they don't watch the Wizard of Oz while they listen to the album...
Somewhere, over the rainbow...

Damn, I'm almost tempted to give that Wizard of Oz thing a try....
It may be too much and blow my mind...

As a kid about 12~13 started repairing TVs, Guitar amps, stereos, and anything electronic for spending money (sure beat mowing yards and painting houses!!). This carried over while I was in grad school and repaired guitar amps & stereos and such for many of the music & stereo stores in the area as a source of income along with working on university research projects.
One morning 3 English band fellows came in the repair store and asked if I could repair their light show control box. Turns out the PS was blown and I rigged up a PS for US 120VAC use. They were so happy it was fixed they offered me a bunch of front row tickets at the Tampa National Guard Armory shown here.

They noted I played guitar (wasn't any good tho), and offered to teach me a couple songs and I could be on stage with them!!
Anyway, I had something else to do that night and didn't take up on the offer.
A year or so later the album came out, and yes it was the early original Pink Floyd |O
