Short answer: the dB Technologies Opera Reevo 210. It ranks #10 of 42 10-inch pa speakers by sound quality (rated 3.9/5) at $739 and is still sold new; the Yamaha DXR10mkII ranks #13 (rated 3.8/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Yamaha DXR10mkII’s replacement, the Yamaha DXR10mkIII, is rated 3.8/5 at $899.99.
The dB Technologies Opera Reevo 210 is the more accurate, deeper-bass option. A powerful coaxial PA speaker with two 10 inch woofers for deep bass and very wide coverage, usable as a wedge or on a pole. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 2.88 against 2.30 for the Yamaha DXR10mkII. Its bass reaches about 62.2Hz before falling 3dB, against 73Hz for the Yamaha DXR10mkII. Watch for: A 3.3dB reference band and 0.637 listening-window deviation give it a less even tonal balance than most 10-inch rivals.
Why pick the Yamaha DXR10mkII: A proven, easy to set up 10 inch PA workhorse with a flexible input section and simple processing presets. Watch for: It lacks app control or Bluetooth audio found on some newer competitors, and its measured preference sits mid-pack for this ranking.
Buy the dB Technologies Opera Reevo 210. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Yamaha DXR10mkII is no longer sold new.
