does anyone have any experience with the yamaha DXR series of active full range speakers. i.e, which would best suit the K.p.a the DXR10 or DXR12 thanks
dxr active speakers

I use 2 DXR 10's they are so so so good!!!!!!! i tried the 12's but thought the 10's sounded better
-
thanks, i'm leaning toward the 10's, i'm not liking the power amp guitar cab set up at all, does'nt seem to do justice to the K.P.A so now looking at at full range for live set up
-
I have a DXR 10 and it sounds and feels absolutely great!
-
Have any of you guys with the DXR10s tried the Atomic CLR yetto compare?
-
Also I would be interested in a comparison with the RCF NX10. Anyone tried both??
Cheers,
Markus -

MarkusI tried these when testing out my DXR's I preferred the DXR's especially due to the cost and 7 year warranty

Guys who use DXR,s I,d rneally like to know what style music you play and a short list of your fav profiles.

I play anything from Guns and Roses to Nickelback, Pink Floyd to Snow Patrol. All the profiles I use are ones I've brought from Andy44 at The Amp Factory. His profiles are ACE I tweak them just small bit if any. I brought the Amp Pack 2 bundle and a few single profiles Mesa Triple rect and Blackstar ones

I don't mean to piss on your parade but I'm a bit paranoid about latency so I wrote Yamaha and asked what the figures are on the DRX and it's 2.2ms which is a little too much for my tastes. Yes I know, that's the same as standing 2ft farther from the speaker, but remember, latency is cumulative and the KPA already introduces like 3.5ms.

Well I've been playing for 22 years and can't hear any latency when I play through them. They react just like all my other guitar amps have since I've been in a band. I can't detect 3.2ms of delay!!!!!

Like I've said, latencies are cumulative so 2.2ms (DXR) + 3.5ms (KPA) = 5.7ms which is roughly the same as standing 6ft away from the speaker. Now the perceived distance and the real distance are also cumulative, which means that if you're standing 5ft from your speaker it will really feel like standing 11ft away from it. I start feeling disconnected at 15ft, so with that setup that distance gets reduced by to 9ft (15ft - 6ft), which is more than I'm willing to take - IMHO of course. -

I think you should go into the local music shop and try these out see how you feel with them. I think you will be very impressed

+ 1.
Everything else is only theory and doesn't help to make an informed decision. -

I play mostly original music in the style of Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, XTC.
My most commonly used profile is the AC20, plus some Kemper AC 30 profiles and some of Andy's commercial stuff. -
To each their own, of course. Personally I'm going with the Alto TS110A as soon as it becomes available in my country for its portability, frequency response and the fact that it still uses old fashioned analog crossovers and no DSP which means zero latency.
And it doesn't hurt that it also has a friendly price tag

I do that often, but on those kind of stages you normally have to rely on the house monitoring system (that is permanent) when you move around, even having a mic'd full stack bhind you would not make much a difference when you move to the singer on stagefront 20ft away from your corner.....

You must have some big stages and clubs where you come from. Even if you were playing wembly stadium I wouldn't think your back line would be much more than 9FT away from you

there are only 3 of us in my band we play at least twice every week and most venues we play hardly have any room at all. So my cabs have always been nearly on top of me lol
