Dave,
The Abbey Road plugins are great. I've read several reviews on the NX and liked what I have read so far. I picked up the NX at everyplugin.com, I'll play around with it this weekend. I have not use all of the Mercury plugins, but so far I am not disappointed in the ones that I am using now.

After reading your first post, I have though "that can be really interesting in my case...".
Fortunately, Waves has 14 days full functional demo. Reviews and videos was nice. But all that make no big sense if the effect does not work with concrete head in concrete headphones (like in my case).
 
I was long time on-line shooters player and I have used "5.1" headset (with 3x2 speakers inside headphones). And I could "localize enemies" with great precision (the sound quality was very bad, so such solution is not for music). Other, with "virtual" systems based on normal headsets, normally had to "turn the head a bit" (since without tracking, virtual head inside the game) to achieve the same effect. I guess the tracking system for NX serve the same purpose, since without micro-movements the "space" is not perceived.

Most of us already have, and prefer, Sonarworks Headphone Reference Plugin.
So, that is probably why the silence...

Interesting response. As most of you already have, and prefer, the Sonarworks plugin, would anyone care to elaborate on why it's better ? Seems to me, they are very different animals, as is the VRM.
 

Yep. I get that. It's frequency based, and subjective. Supposedly overcoming the deficiency in the headphones. So the idea is to make all headphones sound the same and thereby the reference quality is reached? I question whether that is what is required. Surely then, different headphones, without being 'altered', may give a different sound and 'feel', which would allow for a little more individual approach. Why have some excellent, but very different headphones available, if all you going to do align them? But I do see the value in using this approach as well, so I am not disagreeing with your choice, just pointing out these things are very much subjective. If everyone as you say uses this, then I will stand corrected, but I have my doubts.
 
NX it seems is more about 3D spacial placement and relative position to the 'monitors' in an ideal mixing room. It's quite a different thing to frequency response. The two plugins would probably work well together.
