For what it's worth, the Kirchhoff-EQ is currently available at Plugin Alliance for $59.99. It doesn't specify for how long.

Honestly at that price I think the newish Toneboosters Pro EQ is a better deal.  The interface is certainly more pleasing and the sound is great.  

 

Yes, I have the Kirchhoff and it is excellent, but I also find the interface elements to be "too small" even though the overall interface is resizable.  It does sound as good as anything out there to me though.

The Toneboosters one is really nice, but I still think Kirchhoff sounds better. Not that it's the only measure, but in their default settings, it's also cleaner in Plugin Doctor.

Another one that really surprised me was apQualizr2 by apulSoft. I picked up the bundle cheaper than either Kirchoff or Pro EQ and it's a really nice clean surgical and creative EQ. Workflow is easy, but it feels a little clunky for some reason.

I really rate it for clean or experimental as it has all sorts of modulation you can use.

When I tested them I'll admit that at really extreme settings Kirchoff impressed me more than any other eq.  That said, when I did a/b testing on normal settings that didn't need insane boosts someone shouldn't have to do with any decent source the differences I found to be negligible at best and the added filter types and far better interface for me personally certainly overcame any minor differences.

Now if I have something that needs a crazy boost or cut, yes, Kirchoff is coming out.

But for a tool that is basically on every track that I have to look at constantly, my vote goes for Toneboosters Pro.

I bought Kirchoff before the TBP came out and expected it to be the end all eq but that interface leaves a lot to be desired.  My eyesight and corrective lenses fall short.  While it isn't anywhere close to the worst, they clearly don't have PHDs in human factors.

Agree with your assessment. TB eq's have weird phase response in the high frequencies. It looks like it has a very steep low pass filter at nyquist or something. Kirchoof sounds better, but GUI is kind of meh. Can't have it all, it seems.
