Short answer: choose between the Yamaha DXR10mkII and RCF ART 732-A MK4 by matching the speaker to the deployment rather than treating their ranking positions as a universal verdict. Coverage, cabinet format, bass extension, output capability, DSP, and service support all matter in a PA system. The Yamaha DXR10mkII is discontinued; its replacement is the Yamaha DXR10mkIII. The RCF ART 732-A MK4 is discontinued; its replacement is the RCF ART 732-A MK5.
Why choose 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.
Why choose the RCF ART 732-A MK4. Its large 3-inch compression-driver voice coil, 131dB claimed peak and roughly 53Hz measured extension give it useful vocal headroom and more bass reach than the 712 MK4. The 39.2 lbs (17.8 kg) enclosure remains easy to carry.
What to weigh before buying. It lacks app control or Bluetooth audio found on some newer competitors, and its measured preference sits mid-pack for this ranking. The low-quality vendor data is truncated and does not yield a preference score. It is discontinued, lacks modern remote control and is eclipsed by the better-supported ART 732-A MK5 and current 9-series models.
Buy the Yamaha DXR10mkII when its stated coverage, output, processing, and installation format fit the job better.
Buy the RCF ART 732-A MK4 when its stated strengths better suit the venue and the rest of 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.
