#4 Yamaha DXR8mkII: $649.00 Amazon B&H Photo Video Guitar Center eBay
Pros: Medium-quality vendor data shows a 4.99 ideal-subwoofer preference score with 64Hz measured extension, among the strongest results here. Yamaha’s FIR-X processing, a 1.75-inch neodymium compression driver and a 90° x 60° constant-directivity horn carry over the larger DXR models’ engineering into a compact cabinet.
Cons: No mkIII successor exists for this size yet, so it is the oldest design generation in this ranking’s Yamaha lineup, without app control or Bluetooth audio.
How it compares: Just above it: Turbosound NuQ82 - $149 cheaper. Just below it: JBL PRX908 - $150 more.
