#12 Yamaha DXR15mkIII: $1,099.99 Amazon B&H Photo Video Guitar Center eBay

Pros: The third-generation DXR15 raises claimed output to 134dB with 2000W amplification, app-based control and Yamaha’s newest onboard DSP, while its 90° x 60° pattern matches the well-regarded DXR12mkIII.

Cons: The low-quality local data is truncated and cannot produce a preference score, so its tonal advantage over the proven DXR15mkII is unconfirmed. Wireless connectivity is for remote control, not audio streaming.

How it compares: Just above it: Axiom ED150A - $890 more. Just below it: FBT Mitus 115A - $2300 more.
