Danny is one of the most down to earth people I have ever been around. As others have stated his long list of best sound at shows is well known. He is quite a gifted designer and has created a niche that seems to cause some people heart burn.
He has gained a following due to his skills and ability to showcase them and not relying on "paid magazine reviewers" to hawk his products and services. He has paid his dues and has never been less than a true gentlemen. He doesn’t push things he cannot demonstrate as superior and knows how to stretch the engineering level of drivers to achieve better results than a great many boutique speaker makers.
He offers a product and people purchase. Word of mouth has always been the best advertising and he has been on a long journey to earn all that he has acheived. If some want to knock him, it is without merit or understanding what value he has brought to a great many. He is one of the best I have ever been around personally.
