Re: Another powered speaker comparisonYou can add the Yamaha DSR112 as another powered 12in that's not really worth a second listen. We're currently in a search for powered wedge/utility speakers to replace our older Mackie SRM450s. Today we had pairs of the DSR 12s, 15, and single 18 subs on a demo. None of them made us want to buy them. The one thing we walked away from listening to them with was the thought that Yamaha's marketing department is doing a good job. I know we're going to get a different flavor of mediocre with all the different options in this market segment, so it looks like I'll probably end up making the decision based on functionality/feature differences instead of sound quality. I think at this point QSC has the best feature set with its K and KW lines, but I agree that they're fairly muddy. With the Yamaha's the features just aren't there to go along with underwhelming sound quality, the 12s and subs weren't worth listening to. The 15s were decent, just didn't meet our wedge requirement.
