Great review bro, make more

I would NOT recommend using them stand alone for any events except very small ones or speech / acoustic duo type applications. I would certainly not attempt any "dancing" type event with 150 people in attendance with these at all, unless they are on top of a pair of subs (or unless you have a VERY good sounding hall and you can get them close to a boundary to increse low frequency response, and even then... They have very limited low frequency response, as they should, and as any 8'' top has. I owned a pair of the DXR8s for almost 12 years and just recently traded them in, but used them exclusively over my pair of DXS12 MKII subs, where they performed very well and got surprisingly loud, when high passed at 100hz. I will be curious to hear the new 1.75'' compression driver in the near future.

Hi Al!
Thanks for your thoughts. I have followed your videos over the years. I had my dancers close
To the speakers, a nice square size hall and no kidding the bass from these was incredible! It was pounding I had to turn bass down to 10 o clock on my mixer. So while I see the benefits of a sub, I personally don’t use them.

The 1.75” HF upgrade in the MII is a game changer. Hope you get a chance to review them on your channel soon. I also had the first generation. But the MII have such a clear, warm sound. Very happy with them so far. I hear the difference.

@@chrispapas303 Thank you for your comments :) Some venues / spaces agree well with speakers and naturally amplify low frequencies, while others do othe exact opposite, so you likely had a very acoustically friendly room with maybe some closer boundaries? I have one venue where I play for older folks up on a stage, usually with my RCF ARt 310As or Yamaha DHR10s and, in this scenario, a pair of either of these speakers set center stage will work (I focus all sound on the crowd dancing in the center - so the folks on the sides can talk) and the stage naturally amplifes/ couples with thespeaker to amplify the low frequencies very noticeably so as to sound VERY full. Any other venue, where I might use these tops for the same amount of people, but up on stands, would require subs for optimum results, as low frequencies generally disappear once speakers are stand mounted. The main idea of subs if to hadnle all of the bass (100hz and below) so that your tops can focus mainly on mids and highs, and will now have MUCH MUCH MUCH more headrom as low frequencies require much more aplifier power and woofer excursion. I hope to try DXR MKII soon or those damn DZR tops I've been waiting years for... Serious production issues at Yamaha it seems. Those DZR10s over my DXS12 MKIIs would make an incredibly powerful, yet compact system for my bigger weddings :)
