I’ve noticed the same. They do make good quality stuff, but that doesn’t mean the stuff you already own isn’t good quality. It really depends what you are needing at a given moment.

Even a gritty, grainy reverb can be just what a sound, or a mix needs, the same way that sometimes spring reverbs can also work well in a certain context. The trick is to not just default to using the same reverb, use the one that has the right aesthetic for the right part. Even a low-CPU choice can be the best choice on a background element to give your more processor overhead for your main elements.

Point is, Valhalla does make great sounding reverbs, but it’s best to choose the ones that bring a different aesthetic to what you already have. Even if it’s lofi and grainy.
