I already have the DXR 12's which are phenomenal for my bigger jobs. But I needed something a bit smaller, lighter & flexible for my smaller room gigs for example this one pictured here last night. I had tried the baby Mackie SRM150 for tiny jobs (10-15pp), but it just wasn't enough full range for my needs as a vocalist & keyboard player. So I picked up a pair of the little brother of my DXR12's the DXR 8,.....this may have been my best gear buy in a long time!! These little really hit the mark. I was blown away by the power, sound and coverage they gave me on stage. Crystal clear Top & Bottom end was amazing also for a speaker this size. I have used one alone & two in stereo last night & I am totally satisfied & confident now that I made the right choice. All bases covered now 1, 2, or 4 speakers, and if I have to use all Four for some of my BIG gigs I can put the 8's up on poles and 12's on the floor also.

A NEW love affair. How long will this one last?

No need for a pair of subs on the floor w/ 8's as satellites on poles?

not unless its one of my DJ dance gigs where I need to push air for that thump!....dont let the size fool you,
I had my doubts thinking opld school speakers, but its a new day in speaker design technology, ..amazingly these DXR8's have a terrific low end, I knew they would be good just by the weight, just what I need for my small to med gigs. I actually A/B'd them with the QSC's in the store at performance volume and I have to say it was a tie..nice tight clear pure sound wow!

Don I've had my DXR12's for almost a year so yes I'm having a love affair with the DXR series.....
man I'm totally Yamaha at this point...carry on!

cue music ... "When I'm not near the ______(fill in blank with KB, speakers, mics, whatever) I lo-ove, I love the _____ I'm near ..."
LOVE YA, Donny ...

Donny I have been using QSC K8 for 3 years great boxes you will love the DXR 8 I have the DXR 12 and the Subs 15 inas well good system I am going to get the QSC K10 as well so I will have all spectrum covered K 8 and Dxr have a 110 degree covarage so in a small venue they are great I use 2 little amp stands and put them on the floor with just a little tilt up and it fulls the room and takes up no space I find I do not need the bass to lower in most cases get the cover bags I found the metal grill guards dent very easly you will find you will use these all the time 20 lbs perfact set up.

Thanx Ron the QSC8 was in my radar till I heard these, both great sound...,....
I already have the covers for the DXR8's...
I finally think I have the perfect Gig Rig Now ....take care!

I have heard the DXR 12xs and they are excellent, but my days of toting 42.5 pound speakers are ancient history!

love the weight & love the sound !
speakers are easy to handle ....but KB's not so much like my old G70,........peoples needs are very different with gear,.....I frequently gig 2x a day in and out setup, big gig small job etc, etc,.....my S950 fits the bill for me at this time no complaints just a few wishes.



can you say... http://rocknroller-multicart.myshopify.com/

I agree with Don Mason - my days of lugging monster speakers are over, end, finito!
