I'll throw in the Eventide's SP2016 Stereo Room reverb.

I have an EMT 251 (with the 250 mod), SP-2016, Lex 224, 480, PCM 70, Bricasti, Quantec QRS, and others (AMS RMX 16, Roland R-880, Publison IM-90, Kurzweil KSP8) and they all have their own special goodness, but the Eventide is the one that surprises most folks that come over and listen to the different reverbs. I guess they all kind of expect the others to sound good, but the SP-2106 is less well known than most.

It makes things just sound right somehow. It's not super obvious, but it adds something nice to the source.

Describing reverbs is kind of like describing paintings. I know what I like and what moves me, but it's hard to articulate why with just dropping down into the tech side of it.
