When I just want to sample without buying, in a relaxed atmosphere (i.e. my own home) I borrow from the library. They even have SACD's! Interesting that some discs are wrecked, nearly unplayable, and others are pristine, nearly unplayed. Our local system has invested in a disc resurfacing machine, and some really need it.
This method has allowed me to discover a lot of music by a lot of composers I never would have tried otherwise. Just today, it was Onslow chamber music. Kind of boring, but I'll give it more tries. Best recent discovery: Chaminade Piano Trios.
As to Bruckner, I enjoy Symphony 4, 7, 9. Can't recall hearing 6. Time to try the library!
Peace,
