darkside Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Sorry for the late follow up, but I know I won't be getting one of those for a long while, but was just wondering because I live so close and may still be within 2 1/2 -3 hrs away within the next few years...

darkside Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hey SoundBroker, just an OT question right quik: How much do the TH-28 and TH-112 retail for? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I like the way the room has turned out. Despite a "small" 50" Panny plasma, the room works very well sonically. The sweet spot is very wide for movies, and music floats into the kitchen in a very tactile way. ..... I just had to see how this big old Danley went with the alacrity of the Klipschorns and I can honestly say I couldn't be more pleased! That room turned out great... the Danley really just disappears. No one would imagine the power you have discreetly hidden. And based on how pretty those Khorns are in real life... I wonder how much of the room detailing we are missing in the photos. As a side note... funny seeing 50" described as small... I remember the day my dad proudly brought home that 21" TV for our family room!

Chris Robinson Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Rob, you're right ... the 50" IS small ... Knowing that, I figured that the 65" plasma would be in the works in a few years ... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Robinson Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hi guys, For a bunch of good reasons, I've been off the forum for a while. Nothing to do with the folks here ... just a lot of life going on right now. The Danley's been down for a bit of the summer. It was working great in the spring, and then I had some amp problems ... i.e., no signal getting through to the driver. I got around to checking the driver (OK), and then we just swapped out the amp today. I put a new one in, supplied by Danley (great response time), and noted the same problem when I put the new one in. Turned out to be a tempermental connector between the amp and the driver. Anyway, I got it all buttoned up and operational and it's back in action. Having lived without it for a few months ... then dialing it back in ... has really made me -- once again -- appreciate what a fabulous sub this is. It is in your face/body/feet when it needs to be, but blends so well with the big Klipschorns and center Belle. The room is once again energized [*-)] The LF in audio today can be done without, but when you have it, it becomes so much more real and life-like. It makes you blink, gasp, and look over your shoulder. It just gives all the rest of the soundtrack "credibility". Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Thought you'd want a shot of the driver ... I took it when it was open. 12" .... Didn't look like all the honkin' drivers in the sub market today, but it sounds big enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 A shot of the upper part of the cabinet, scrim removed ... The sub runs floor to ceiling .... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 With a very well designed horn, you don't need a huge driver[Y] Very cool, thanks for the pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Looking "down" below the driver ... PVC pipes, capped on top, seem to run into the other side of the chamber. Very cool engineering, even though I have no idea what they're doing. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hey Chris, can you provide more information regarding the PVC pipes? Like maybe pulling the driver out and verifying if they run to the other side? If it's too much, then don't worry about it, but I've been dying to learn how he makes this horn work. Also, is the pipe open or closed on the end where it goes down in your camera shot? I have a feeling that the pipes are tuned helmholtz resonators that are there to reduce a standing wave resonance problem resulting from the undersized mouth. Thanks for posting!

rmlowz Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hello Chris, Thanks for the great pictures. I don't think I have ever enjoyed one piece of gear more than the DTS 20 (ok maybe the La Scalas more than the DTS 20 or now the Growlers it is a crazy hobby!!!). I am now experimenting with JTR Growlers for mid bass they are simply amazing. I have one now and ordered another one it will be here before the holiday weekend. Take Care, rmlowz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Doc, Would love to help you out on that front, but it's not going to happen soon [] It took me a month and some help to get the thing out, let alone putting it back in. I can tell you that the pipes you see are tapped at the top .... I think I have a pic ... Next post ... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Here's what I've got ... looking UP into the cabinet above the driver. This is a wonderful piece of cabinetry ... very similar to Khorns in build quality. Whatever Tom Danley did was amazing ... you can't imagine the sound coming from this box. It's scary when called for. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Here's a document that make more sense to the more acoustically learned than I: http://www.danleysoundlabs.com/pdf/danley_tapped.pdf But I'm going to take a stab at it anyways and by all means, correct me if I'm wrong...but Fromwhat I maybe understand, the PVC pipes are vents that exit at a certaindistance into the horn from the rear chamber of the woofer box (thevents make it "tapped"). This also, I believe, allows the woofer tocouple properly to the horn at lower frequencies. There is a catch,apparently, this requires a special type of driver, but not much isexplained about that. Basically, the rear chamber is vented into thehorn. That's about as simply as it can be explained, though I can besure it is much more complicated than that.

darkside Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Also, Chris, are the caps on the ends of the pipes closes to the front of the cabinet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Welcome back Chris. Glad to see you finally got the monster fixed... just in time after I left huh?? [:'(] Have you moved off the island yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you that the pipes you see are tapped at the top .... I think I have a pic ... Next post ... lol, no worries.Ok, I get that the tops of those pipes are closed, but as you follow them down they join at a T-Section where a bit of pipe goes towards the front (which my or may not open to the front) and then there is another piece of pipe that goes towards the back (and looks like it bends down). Is the pipe going towards the back open at the bottom? Or is it a mounting flange thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PVC pipes have nothing to do with it being a tapped horn, which is why I'm so interested in them [] Here's what a classical tapped horn looks like: http://diy.cowanaudio.com/th.html The thing is, most tapped horns are limited to a 2 octave bandwidth, but Danley somehow gets 3 octaves. He also gets it to go extremely low for the size of the enclosure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Welcome back Chris. Glad to see you finally got the monster fixed... just in time after I left huh?? [:'(] Have you moved off the island yet? Sorry about that! We've just had a lot going on here ... Latest (and last) project is the rebuilt of the master suite, including bathroom, dressing room and reading room. We're on track and on budget, but so much to do ... Including painting it and the entrance hall as well. If we can get the house on the market in September, we may be out of here by the Spring. It will depend on pricing and the market, of course. We may be out sooner or later, not sure, but it looks like we'll be moving to Dallas. Still searching for a job there, but it's hard to do it when folks there see you living six states to the east [:|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
