#7 Yamaha DZR15: $1,291.99 Amazon B&H Photo Video Guitar Center eBay

Pros: Medium-quality vendor data returns a 4.54 ideal-subwoofer preference score with 39Hz measured extension, deeper than the DZR12. The bi-amped 2-inch compression driver and sophisticated onboard DSP target serious main-speaker duty.

Cons: The bass-extension figure comes from truncated manufacturer data and should be read cautiously. It lacks Bluetooth audio and app control, and at this price competes with systems-grade alternatives from RCF and HK Audio.

How it compares: Just above it: KV2 Audio EX15 - $4708 more. Just below it: JBL PRX915 - $193 cheaper.
