Upgrade's for Yamaha DXR15's

[hammondman]

Hi,

 

I'm curious to know what I'd be looking at to upgrade my Yamaha DXR15 tops. I really like the DXR15's and have had continuous complements on the results I get with them but I find them a little scooped in sound and lack a little warmth.

Ideally what I'd like is :-

 

1/ Less scooped mids

2/ Slightly higher output

3/ Even deeper bass (or no less)

4/ Built in crossover

5/ No heavier than DXR15's (23kg)

 

I will be using these tops with a pair of QSC KW181 subs so having a built in crossover is essential as the KW181's don't have one. I also want something that can at least go as deep (preferably deeper) than the DXR15's as I often just use these just by themselves in smaller venues and run bass guitar, acoustic kick drum or V-Drums through them. The DXR15's have coped with this very well but if I could get something that does this even better then great! As I'm carrying these regularly by myself I don't want anything heavier than the DXR15's (23kg).

 

What would you recommend given my requirements?

What is your budget? The DXR series is pretty darn amazing in both sound quality and quantity and to get much significant improvement over them requires stepping up a league in quality and price for some pro-level cabs.

 

That said, if you can bear the extra weight, the SRX812P and SRX815P would be step up, but at significant cost and would be heavier.

Hi,

 

My budget is up to £2000. Those JBL's look great but I really want something no heavier than the DXR15's. Some speakers that I've been considering are the QSC KW112's. Also, FBT has just announced new versions of the Promaxx series and a brand new Ventis series.
