There is a user in Denmark with several Danley products. Frederick Rosenkjaer, I think. While it's not trivial to get from the UK to Denmark, it's easier than going to the USA or waiting for a dealer network to develop.
Have fun, good luck.

As you all know the UK is mad about sub and sub bass cabinets and the Danley products look like they could just well wipe the floor with everything else we have here.... i guess we'll have to wait & see :)

For an idea of how Tom Danley designs things, you can audition the LABsubs (or LABhorn) as there have been a bunch built in the UK. I think Dave Wohlford (?) has a bunch he takes to Nottinghill Fest. A search of the PSW FUDforums will probably yield results. The LABsubs are conventional horns and not the Tapped Horns for which Tom has been granted patents, but will give you some insight. The LABs are physically larger than similarly-performing tapped horns, too.
If you go to the FUDforums "Product Review" forum you'll find comments from some of the 2007 New York City Sub Shootout participants. Paul Bell graciously arranged for a venue, amplification, power distribution, shipping and receiving... and we got to come and listen. Besides Danley, other notable subs came from BassMaxx (David Lee); LM Acoustics (the Quakes); Eona-ADR; and JTR Loudspeakers (Growlers). The BassMaxx Triple Twelve generated an Environmental Police complaint from a 5th floor tenant... in a building across the street.
There are more choices than ever for subwoofers. While I like and respect Tom & his crew, they're not the only game and I think you should listen to as many different models as possible. Also don't forget that unless you set up the rig and are mixing the performance, everything you're hearing is being subjected to another person's idea of How Things Should Sound. As such, you might not be getting a full (or proper) understanding of what the DUT is capable of.
Have fun, good luck.

I know all about the EM quake subs as i've used 24x to cover 1500people once... very nice indeed but need to be used in big blocks of 4 or more.
