#10 Yamaha DXR12mkIII: $999.99 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Pros: The third-generation DXR raises claimed output to 134dB and adds 2000W amplification, app-based control and more capable onboard DSP while staying light at 17.4kg. Medium-quality vendor data shows measured extension around 60Hz.

Cons: The truncated Spinorama data does not produce a preference score, so its tonal advantage over the proven DXR12mkII is not yet quantified. Wireless connectivity is for remote control, not a substitute for a wired production-audio input.

How it compares: Just above it: RCF ART 912-A - $51 cheaper. Just below it: HK Audio LINEAR 7 112 XA - $1044 more.
