It's blown the rabbit hole wide open for creative reverb sounds imho. But what audioease has done here is remarkable. We still need algorithmic reverbs, there's always a use for various sorts of reverbs. For those that aren't fortunate enough to have an Artist Controller, perhaps an A/B toggle would still be a welcomed feature? With the high quality IR's that been captured by Audio Ease, this is the perfect platform to experiment, explore and create great sounding musical reverbs imho. It's taking something real and putting spin on it - like taking real live musical performances/ drum beats chopping it up and remixing it - making it super dooper. You'd get a hybrid reverb signature never ever conceived before. What would result is a dynamic S.O.H tail which has the hi end component of a modern algorithmic reverb - but with the ER of a vintage plate. Even to model s.o.h algorithmically (without convolution tech) would be a challenge.

This wouldn't be possible if you were to build such a structure in real life. Then maybe feed just the Early Reflection from an EMT 140 Plate. For example, imagine you could take the Reverb tail from the Sydney Opera House - enhanced/brightened it and then make it wiggle with Altiverb's inbuilt modulation feature. Maybe I'm a little over zealous here but the possibilities here are endless. I've been playing around with it on a new production and loving the sounds that I'm achieving with this. The amount of mileage one could get from this plugin is just insane if you enjoy being creative. Really looking forward to developing/sculpting new reverb sounds with this.

Therefore, a high-quality speaker is required - one that can play a sine sweep at high volume and without distortion. Test signals such as pink noise, sine wave or sine sweeps make extremely high demands on the material, particularly when reproduced at high sound levels. More probable than losing your hearing, however, is the risk of damage to the box when playing the sweep. Even with sweeps it is possible to damage your hearing - a common danger with most activities involving loudspeakers. on a film set or in a similar ad hoc environment. Sweeps can not be created 'on the fly', e.g. It's easy to end up sitting on your sweeps without them working. In addition, the workload is shifted to post-production, where one has to deal with deconvolution and the problems that can arise when things don't work out the way they should.

Depending on the room size, quite a bit of power might be needed to offset a room so that it vibrates and generates sufficient reflections.

Compact active speakers generally won't do the job. However, the disadvantage of sweeps is obvious: they require a lot more equipment since a speaker is used for playback. Sweeps can also be used in different lengths, which gives much better results in large and reverberant rooms. Since the output signal from the speaker in each case is identical, impulse responses with the same level can be recorded on different positions, allowing accurate stereo impulse responses.

This is crucial when recording stereo and multi-channel impulse responses. Assuming you don't blow your speakers at first attempt, a sweep can be accurately reproduced. In contrast to the bang method, a sweep can be much better controlled.
