Actually (probably because of the phase coherence and tight dispersion control) they sound very good even with some basic equipments, like the small 300 USD Parasound zAmp for example, but I like them most with the pro MC2 Audio MC1250 amps or the French Devialet D-Premier DAC/ADC/DSP/amp. They sound very good with pro cables like Evidence Audio or Gotham from Switzerland. The source at home usually my Mac-based system with M2Tech USB2-to-AES converter with pro DACs, like Lavry DA10, Mytek 192 ADDA (through Firewire connection) or Sonic Studio 304, 305 which can do the xover duties with its built-in DSP functionality. We use Danley for PA as well almost daily. According to our experience, they are probably the only PA speakers where opera and classical music, live acoustic jazz events could be amplified really honestly. We had several trial against Meyer Sound in the past. The Meyer was like a very good ampilified live music if the engineer does his job right, the MC2/Danley/ APB-Dynasonic mixer with some Royer ribbon and old AKG mics were like live music without ampifilication, you easily could be fooled there is no amplification at all. Sometimes it is a kind surreal experience in a hand of a very good engineer, who does not want to overamplify the instruments's sound, but wants only to extend it to everywhere in the audience.

The new Danley Jericho JH-1 and 2 (formerly JH-90) horns are absolutely amazing, there is nothing like them around in the PA world. I have a mastering engineer friend in a very famous European studio, with large room for mastering/monitoring, and he is seriously thinking of a JH-1 for mastering.
