Short answer: choose between the RCF KX 10-A and Yamaha DXR10mkII for the deployment, not from the automatic ranking alone. Their driver format, power requirements, coverage, bass reach, output capability, and control features determine which is the more practical PA for a particular room or system. The Yamaha DXR10mkII is discontinued; its replacement is the Yamaha DXR10mkIII.
The case for the RCF KX 10-A. The entry point into RCF’s flagship KX point-source range, with a 130dB claimed peak, a neodymium woofer and wide 100° x 50° coverage in a manageable 34.2 lbs (15.5 kg) cabinet.
The case for the Yamaha DXR10mkII. A proven, broadly distributed workhorse: medium-quality vendor data shows a 5.16 ideal-subwoofer preference score with 67Hz measured extension, and Yamaha’s FIR-X processing and D-Contour compressor simplify setup.
Important trade-offs. The local measurement is truncated and cannot produce a preference score, and pricing/retail availability are not yet well established for this model. It lacks app control or Bluetooth audio found on some newer competitors, and its measured preference sits mid-pack for this ranking.
Buy the RCF KX 10-A when its stated format, coverage, and system features fit the job better.
Buy the Yamaha DXR10mkII when its stated output, control, and deployment strengths better match the system.

Frequency Response Compared
Both speakers’ spinorama measurements, overlaid. A flatter line is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. Each curve is shifted so its average from 300 Hz to 3 kHz sits at 0 dB, so loudness differences between the two are removed and only the shape is compared.
