Others may disagree, but I actually think electronic music is a great platform for evaluating some aspects of a playback system. Synths have much more simple and linear harmonic spectra than acoustic instruments - easy to tell when tone's off with a trained ear. Transients can be truly immediate too, so softness/compression is immediately evident.
I like synths and weird electronic sounds in rock/prog music but I can't get into a lot of music that is just electronic. I need to look harder for evaluation aspects at least.
Things get even trickier/more interesting when you've got artists using 100% analog synths for "electronic" music, or using actual studio tricks for recordings rather than emulating them through software, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1DWVrAD-GU
