#33 Yamaha CBR10: $299.99 Passive Estimated B&H Photo Video eBay

Same family: the Yamaha DBR10 (smallest powered model, ranked higher, rated 3.4/5), the Yamaha DBR12 (powered model, rated 3.6/5), the Yamaha DBR15 (largest powered model, rated 2.9/5), the Yamaha CBR12 (larger passive model, estimated 3.4/5) and the Yamaha CBR15 (larger passive model, estimated 2.7/5).

Pros: The passive version of the measured Yamaha DBR10, sharing its 10” woofer, compression driver and lightweight polypropylene cabinet with 90° x 60° coverage. Yamaha rates it at 94dB sensitivity, 123dB maximum SPL and bass to 50Hz (-10dB), and at 9.4 kg it is one of the lighter 10-inch boxes.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so it can’t be compared with ranked PA speakers. It needs an external amplifier, and without the powered model’s DSP its response depends on the amplifier’s EQ. The measured powered version is a budget design, so expect the same limits on output and smoothness.
