Ok!
Then this is your problem, (obviously). The EWQL gold samples are wet, by default. They already have reverb on, so the usual is to NOT use any reverb on them. Altiverb is indeed great, but not useful for EW products! EW advertises heavily that this is an advantage. If you head over to my webpage and listen to an orchestral sample (or check some threads here), you'll hear how EWQL Gold sounds "dry" (with no additional reverb).
Just take out altiverb and the improvent will be vast, immediately I can 95% guarantee that!
