I received my shipment of DBR10 and DBR12 speakers today. They really do shine! Loud, Clear as a bell and light weight. I really like that channel 1 has a combination 1/4"/XLR plug with a switch for line or mic so I can plug a mic in without the need of a mixer. At a MAP price of $399 and $499 and with Yamaha's 7 year warranty I'm really happy to have these powered speakers in my store. In my opinion, you can't beat Yamaha's quality when it comes to sound equipment these days.
