n the last year or so, I bought six Bruckner boxes (each containing 
recordings on CD of all or most of Bruckner's symphonies).

I already had six or seven! (Plus a number of individual recordings.)

Frankly, I think they're all great, with perhaps one exception (*).

So, as far as buying Bruckner boxes is concerned, the question is not 
which are good ('good' being the default; I mean: almost all Bruckner 
boxes are 'good' in some sense), or how to rank them (the good ones all 
have their particular merits; ranking them makes no sense) but which are 
bad!

So: which Bruckner boxes should be avoided, do you think?

(*) At this stage, I have my doubts about one particular conductor, now 
dead, who, although famous and 'competent' or even 'perfectionist', is 
notorious for his dull studio recordings and may be vastly overrated.
