I sometimes listen to a little DX radio with crappy headphones, but not much of the "difficult" modern music gets aired around here. I may have some Schoenberg LPs that I never listen to, really can't talk about. What I often hear is along the lines of Saint-Saen, or Elgar, which I like better live than from recordings. Same with Hindemith. Not to be sneezed at, I think, is the "sonic quality" of a good FM broadcast, which seems to allow me to get the most from just about anything I hear played over it. Still, I remember hearing almost nothing but tired-sounding, discursive music on the stations I could pick up when I lived in Venice (LA), many years ago. For Bruckner, I am "going Big", to get the sort of LF and dynamics that seem necessary to "carry" the Music.
Best regards,
