Funny you should especially mention the opening of the 3rd (and final) movement (Adagio) as being demanding of your system. Bruckner uses a lot of high-pitched violin tremolo, huge banks of violins, often flanked by FFFF piccolos at the highest frequencies, and at the opening of the 3rd in B9 Guilini/VPO '88 this sound should be well sorted and "in space". Like you, I need everything in the system to be at its best in order to have space around those HF notes/chords. I cannot "get" this Music unless my gear has been played at least an hour ahead of it, and bad electricity sinks it. You mention you have kept this Music as a pole star over time. I recently changed S/PDIF IC hoping to better sort Bruckner HF. Too bad that examples of "well recorded" massed violin HF are thin on the ground.
