Well said.
I think if we were dealing with a unique algorithmic reverb here the need to 'match' older units sonically would go out the window. But this is convolution. The whole idea behind it is to model something that already exists. It is in its very nature a simulation of the real thing, so the question for the end user becomes 'is the simulation *good enough*?'
As I said, I'm no connoiseur or gear nerd. Though I would suppose the sheer number of those present in these forums might paint me as one even in light of a legitimate inquiry. Given the nature of convolution, I think the A/B tests are necessary in determining the quality and exactness of the sampling procedures employed. Especially if one is paying for the product, in light of there being other, freeware IRs of the same units out there.
So on that note it would be fantastic to hear some comparisons of the 224 and 300 libraries to their respective real deals, especially in light of how well the 252 came out.
