Another vote for DSR112 here. Finally got to hear them this week at local music store. A/B'd them with PRX712 and they were much more "refined" sounding. Tried a bunch of different tracks through them and it felt like there was a blanket on the JBLs. Can't comment on loudness as we didn't crank them to their limit but did turn them up a bit and Yamaha was definitely the winner. Also tried the DXR112 and I would place it between the PRX and DSR, although closer to the PRX.

I also used a friend's PRX712s on a few gigs in small bars (over subs) and they got loud enough and sounded good doing it (with some EQ).

Note that if using them for monitors, the DSR can only lie down one way as the control plate is on one of the slanted sides. The DXR could be used with the horn on either side.

I have a pair of dB Technologies DVX DM12 I use as wedges and they kill the PRX (sound and volume-wise) - though quite a bit more expensive. I was debating getting a couple of PRX for ease of cross-renting with my buddy or waiting for a deal on a couple more DVX... but as of this week, the JBLs are no longer a contender - although I love their size and weight.
