Just an opinion. You should run, not walk, to Sonic Timeworks' website... P100 for $100 bucks is ridiculously cheap.

while you're at it, add the A100 to you cart as well

even a competitor of Warp69 in the native world respectfully admitted his own defeat in the 'small rooms' category... :D
I mean there's a lot of large cathedral-like ambiences everywhere, but trusty 4-7m sound stages ? it makes things so fu**king real :o

cheers, Tom

hearing is believing in this case :D
afaik there's a demo online, try it yourself
the developer is skilled with a lot of (high quality hardware) reverb units, a true expert in this domain.

In the P100 there is almost no colorization of the original signal and it sounds very transparent.
The CD100 chorus/delay (which you'll receive as a bonus after purchase) is well worth the same amount. Surely among the most lush implementations ever (on whatever hardware you imagine)

the Ambient A100 is the most demanding among these devices regading it's resource requirements - but a class in it's own.
imho it has a very strange (but useful) side effect that when you add a tiny bit of 'small room ambience' to the signal, you'll get a similiar sound print as found on high end analog recordings. Remotely reminds on tape saturation without compressing or so... possibly psycho-acoustic, but it's faking those famous 60's Jazz recording environments in an absolutely convincing way

both P100 & A100 have demos so check it out for yourself, they are good, a while back I only had enough money for one & after listening to them both decided to get the A100 because I was after "real" space, but I really should go back & have another look at the P100 again....
