Hi Eddie. Welcome to the forum. I'm playing through a DXR10 in a small bedroom studio right now, and it sounds great 
Dxr10 user here too. Sounds fantastic at bedroom levels. Also loud enough to drown the drummer out. Always a good thing
I'm running a pair of QSC K10s (about the same as the Yammis), and they sound great at low volume. Just because they CAN get really loud doesn't mean that that's all they can do.
The DXR 10 will be just fine at low volume.
Agreed - no issues with low volume.
A question I have about the DXR 10, not related to the thread starter.
Is it completely quiet when it's on but not playing?
Any fan noise or high freq hiss when having the ears close to the speaker in a silent room?
Use Channel 2, and turn the DXR Input down until you don't hear any noise.
Display MoreHi,
- many thanks for your posts! So I will check out the Yamaha DXR10! Big advantage is the price, too.
If someone could compare: Are the DXR8 no option at all? We are practising in a very small room, so every square-cm is important, as well as the weight, cause I have to walk some steps. I read a thread, where some users mentioned, that a morte light-weighted cab doesn't sound good - are there improvements on the market?
Thanks again for your help!
The DXR10 is small enough that going to the 8 wouldn't save enough space to matter IMO ...
The DXR8 is not really lighter than the DXR10, less than 3 lbs of difference. It is a little smaller but I would go for the DXR10.
I just ordered one of these: http://www.music-group.com/Cat…1-0-Wats-of-Perfect-Sound and got a very good price from:

Once I get it I'll report back. It's roughly the same price as the DXR10 ...

It looks to be a nice option!
I will read your review for sure!
54.7 lbs seem to be a little too much on the heavy side for my taste thought.

That's for the entire assembly. I'm figuring that the sub unit is around 36 lbs by itself, so nothing too heavy to lift.
Before I going to pull the trigger:
If you could compare - are the RCF N10 worth to pay nearly twice the price of a Yamaha DXR 10 in your opinion?
I have a lot of experience with FRFR cabs and I own 2 Atomic CLR (about 1000.- Euro each) and 2 DXR10 (about 600.- Euro each).
The Atomic CLR has a bit more clarity in the mid range, whereas the mid pronounciation of the DXR 10 makes it feel a bit more like a guitar cab, especially on busy and loud stages.
Personally I tweak my sounds at home with the CLR, live I almost always use the DXR 10.
So the answer would be: No, it's absolutely not worth paying the price for an RCF.
If you absolutely want to pay that amount of money go for a CLR instead.
But as a workhorse the DXR 10 is unbeatable, believe me.
I've compared the RCF NX12 (not the 10") side by side with the similarly priced Dynacord AXM 12A and, while the difference is minor, I would pick the Dynacord for any purpose (bedroom, band practise, stage). I used to have a pair of DXR10s that I swapped for Dynacords last year. (I still use Yamaha DSRs for FOH though ... DSR118W/DSR115/DSR112). There have been occasions where I have used two AXMs as a mini-stack with the KPA on top. The AXM has a slot at the bottom/side corner where it is possible to feed cables when multiple speakers are stacked. That is not possible with the RCF NX-series. The RCFs are excellent speakers though.
