In my new room, I can't find the patience to listen to Bruckner.  I can now listen to concertos and pieces with content in the tone and space, but if the music takes too long to get into it, I become impatient, then feel like a rediculous and disrespectful philistine for turning it off prematurely.  In my old big room, it was never a problem.  Do I need "Expansiveness Injection?"  Absorption? Diffusion? 

 
I like the way you think. I would offer some of my commentary of the subject. The very first thing you need to find out if your audio anti-Brucknerism has natural or audio nature.  What I mean is that sometime I develop temporarily feeling against some music and if you in the period when you prefer do not listen Bruckner then it is fine, there is nothing wrong with it. It is not even feeling against some music but rather feeling against specific expressive methods… Again, it is normal.
 
However, it might be not natural fluctuation of preferences but audio-made aversion. This need to be cured not even cured but corrected. I have a LOT of data, experiments and experience on the subject and I will post some recommendations how you might “test” it. Unfortunately I have no time now, today is hollyday and I am bussy. I will post an extended response later on during working week.
