@ Svk: I'm happy to hear that you like the sound of our Appassionatas.
But to keep things in perspective, let me quote some random comments from both users and the press regarding our Chamber Strings:
**************
I just received the Chamber Strings VI and, after a couple of disappointments with other software maker's VI's that were no where near the sound quality the demos portrayed them to be, it was a delight to install the Vienna VI and get a huge smile on my face. It's one of the nicest pieces of software I've ever used.
**************
nothing but praise for Chamber Strings...
by far the absolute best string samples I have ever used....also, the performance tool intimidated me at first, but after a couple of days I found it to be really very expressive and intuitive....no real "learning curve" like I have found with other libraries.
Can't wait to buy more VSL!!!! [...]

[...] I certainly haven't heard any other string patches that can compare with these, so thanks again, and I am looking forward to playing with them.

I posted a sample of the Chamber Strings tripled up as per that thread. I was in the same boat, however I was doing Pop/R&B production, not classical. So, it's different. I can say, I was very happy I went with the Chamber Strings and the Solo Strings. I found it very versatile for my application. Also, layering the Solo Strings witht the Chmaber Strings was amazing.
Good luck. Whichever you get, you won't be sorry. It's the best software I've ever used.

[…] As ever, the attention to musical detail is impressive […] I was pleased to see its excellent ‘Bollywood’ slide style replicated [Chamber Strings II] […] if you need the sound of a muted chamber string orchestra look no further. […] I can highly recommend both for their musicality and superb sound.
