I like the Valhallas, Aether and B2 verbs as well but none of them have the quality, depth or size of the above. The new Revelation reverb in Cubase 7.5 is surprisingly good for being only a part of a 49 euro upgrade. It is not so flexible as the Lexicon based reverbs. Others - EMT 140 is a different sounding reverb to all of the above (as you would expect) with smooth but much more audible tails. I have never tried the Altiverb (I am a Windows user) but I can see that it has far more sounds available to it than OWS. You can tell a lot of love went into it and as a result there is a lot to tweak. Like all room reverbs, it sounds great on its own but overdo it in a mix and you have a classic boxy middy sound that overwhelms and dominates within a mix leaving no room for anything else. This is a one trick pony and the two rooms available in it are, in my opinion, not the best available in convolution reverb terms. Small Hall A is an amazing sound on vocals, guitars, strings and anything non percussive. Lexicon 224 - I already own this and love it. Very tempted to buy it from where it is advertised at a good price. But it does produce some fantastic sounding reverbs in the same vein. from Hall to Plate) if you change your mind. It is also a pain to have to load a different reverb (e.g. Downsides of the Lexicon over the Exponential is that it is more expensive and does not do surround. Lexicon PCM - you can hear the similarities between this and Exponential all the way through possibly due to Michael Carnes' input into both. I am going to take advantage of Michael's sale which ends on the 21st Dec and buy it. I love adjusting the level of the early reflection and tail to get the vocal sitting just right. Underneath it are some fantastic smooth tails which disappear into a mix whilst adding size and depth to a sound. Phoenix Surround - don't let the rather amateur interface put you off. No matter which one you use it does not take long to find a setting that sounds great. My thoughts are all are extremely usable and I find it hard to choose a favourite. I have been doing a comparison between Exponential Phoenix Surround, Lexicon PCM Native reverbs and the UAD Lexicon 224.
