Besides the obvious EWQL, Symphobia, Morphestra
 
Any genre... Which are comparable two these 3 in quality?? (made for Kontakt)
 
I know it's all subjective, but... let's see who agrees on what. :)

I'm a big fan of Chris Hein Horns Vol.1-4.

I really enjoy ethnic sounds, so I would have to say EW-RA. Though one must admit what I have heard from East West puts them number one in my book.

Not sure about the top 10, but Native Instruments themselves have been putting out a ton of libraries lately, which all sound good...

I guess I should have reworded it.

The best Library makers!! :)

When I said EW was one of the obvious leaders...I meant all of their libraries. I didn't mention the other obvious choice.. NI..because I am talking about Kontakt, so I figured that was a given.

so...any other library "makers"?? Top 5 maybe?

Tonehammer Epic Dohl is one of the best percussion libraries I've come across.

Project SAM True Strike 2 is a really good percussion library.

Sonivox Flying Hand Percussion is one of my favorite percussion libraries.

Project SAM Brass is a really good collection of orchestral brass. Very usable.

VSL Epic Horns I bought this when it was a separate Kontakt library and it's still the ballsiest brass library around. Dry and massive sounding.

Tonehammer Propanium is one of the best sampled instruments. It's just really fun to use.

Soniccouture Gu Zheng probably the best sampled zither anywhere.

Native Instruments Abbey Road 60s Drums although I just got this, it has been impressive. The sounds are really good.

Bela D Media The Giovani Edition is one my favorite choir libraries.

Soniccouture Pan Drum a really, really good sampled hang drum.

it so depends on what you are after.. :)

i general, i like soniccoutoure alot and also http://www.store.precisionsound.net/  havent gotten any tonehammer libraries, but the demos sound good.
project sam truestrike 2 is another favourite of mine, Tsaiko and Impact Steel are fun, but because of the work I do these days, it is mostly all East Wests Orchestra (the old kontakt lib, not the new Play one).

I think it would be useful (certainly to me!) if everyone listed what kind of copy protection these libraries use.
Also, do the recent EWQL libraries have to be used in PLAY, or can they in fact be used in Kontakt as well?
