I too was extremely reluctant to get a MAC. (luckily you don't really need to touch it after installation). You could use the uBacch VST plugin on any OS if you play through a DAW. The effect is between 10-20% of the real thing - but it serves to prove that no nasty effects are added.
For me the sense of ease and music just existing in my home space is a complete game changer. I very rarely consider I'm listening to HI FI now - the clever imaging effects that happen from time to time are fun but definitely not the main point of it all. And luckily, many many vintage orchestral recordings seem to have lots of wonderful spacial stereo in them - often amazing placements and sonorities of wind and brass sections. Bruckner, yes. I'm listening to a string quartet concert from BBC radio 3 at Wigmore Hall now - and I truly recognise the space, not as an ambience - but how the instruments fly around and react back from the hall.
Just one more thing - the extra room correction module ORC is unlike any other correction that I've tried. I believe it's truly ground-breaking how it works. In fact when I first got it going I was reminded of your preference for Loooong Bass...
I had read about Bacch a while ago and was totally put off by the way it was talked about - in fact I kind of assumed it was a scam. But I assure you, what people say about it is generally very accurate - just as my descriptions here are a bit hyperbolic!
BTW, if you need another AmpX beta tester, I'm ready to go...Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
