There’s a place in Bristol you can hire Danley gear from!
Prices from £50 a day. Not sure about delivery prices…
Guess that’s for one cab, good value for 96dB constant, 126dB peak!
The wood to make one cab cost me £30😀
The first one was wood I had cluttering up the place.
How do they sound?
Pretty good actually.
Leaner / less horny than the 5 way.
I did miss the Vitavox S2 magic for a while, but they win back on the presentation and overall easy listening ability.
They are effortless and have lower (to my ears distortion / room reflections?).
There’s the phase timing thing, but I’m still working on perfecting that
Toed in as Danley prescribes for home use - he prototyped them at home in his long narrow room (as he put it) - American rooms tend to be bigger than UK rooms though!
Much more kick bass and mid bass get up and go than any of my straight mid bass 15" and 12" variants.
The drive and oomph is great.
The MF tone is different to the JBL2482s but it’s not bad at all.
It’s taken ages for the new BMS and Celestion drivers to run in.
They are just starting to perform after days and days…
They are nearing the S2 clarity and liveliness actually! But might never quite get there?
There’s lots of reviews and info on good compression drivers at 1/10 the price of TAD etc - they are not 1/10 as good…
I’ve also got back almost 1m of my room. They are much more compact! Room friendly even🙂
Yesterday our daughters came over for a listen.
They grew up with my hifi DIY.
They’ve taken an interest and enjoy music and SQ.
He’s what I remember if what they said.
The younger ears listened to lots of material they like.
Streaming is great for that. Not a song they wanted that Qobuz didn’t have!
They noticed some missing top freq ‘snow’ as PA boys call it.
It doesn’t bother me, but of course the Raal Lazy Ribbons I was using gave up to super tweeter frequencies, if the gear I use actually passed that on?
I EQd it to their taste…
They described the sound as direct but tonally pleasing.
Compared it to the 5 way system favourably, commended the wider listening presentation than just the lightening spot (the 5 way, with it’s phase alignment and wide driver spread was the listening chair or nowhere!).
The wander about the room anywhere and get even sounds thing impressed.
As did playing it silly loud 
They liked the bass shove.
They thought it was a keeper as a system.
Didn’t miss the 5 way sound!
They are very honest about these things.
The youngest would like the Raal ribbons playing over the top…
I might try that… ruin the Synergy though:scream:
I’m already working out how to make a pair of SM60Fs!
Quite a bit smaller, more room friendly, use a commercially available BMS coaxial and 2 X Beyma 8" drivers. They don’t reach down that low (67Hz), but the tapped horns each up to 100Hz anyway.
The BMS coaxial is quoted at 22KHz!
The design of the acoustic path for the 1" central compression driver HF, and the cone coaxial 5" MF is the tricky part.
Danley uses cad designed injection moulding - I will be turning and milling wood by hand 
I reckon 2 or 3 pieces will do it.
That will then mate to square 60° horn for the 2x8" drivers.
Retaining the 1/4 wavelength distances all the way😉
That design is used with the $23,000 each Danley HRE1s home cinema / listening room flagships.
They have a twin woofer bass unit too.
