#13 Yamaha DXR12mkII: $909.99 Amazon eBay

Pros: A proven, broadly distributed workhorse with a flexible three-channel input section and 134dB claimed maximum output. Medium-quality vendor Spinorama data and 61Hz measured extension provide more evidence than many PA competitors, while Yamaha’s FIR-X processing and D-CONTOUR presets simplify setup.

Cons: The 4.66 ideal-subwoofer preference score is only mid-pack, with meaningful response/directivity irregularity in the supplied data. It lacks app control and Bluetooth audio, and newer competitors offer more user-adjustable DSP.

How it compares: Just above it: HK Audio LINEAR 9 112 XA - $690 more. Just below it: Axiom ED120A - $880 more.
