Re: Yamaha DSR vs DXRHi John,To my ears, you have hit the nail on the head. The DSR's (which I own) do better for live sound as they have better vocal clarity, and quite a bit more output (despite what the specs might say) than the DXR's or the K12's. The K12's get harsh when you push them too much.As for heat, the DSR's stay much cooler than my PRX618S-XLF's even when pushed to clip limit. If they aren't pushed too hard, they get to a temperature I would call "warm to the touch". Not hot. When pushed really hard, they get just hot enough that if you press your hand solidly against them, it will get uncomfortable in a few seconds.I use mine as mains over subs and love them. The mid lows in particular are quite nice for the punch in the bass and toms. The XLF cross-over is at 90Hz which works quite well with these speakers IMHO.
