Yamaha DZR vs CZR
Dave Guilford:
What’s the deal here? The DZR15 specs 139 max SPL. Meanwhile the CZR15 (same thing but passive) says max is 129 - literally half the volume. I really prefer passive for my set up, and I have great amps itech .. but 129 isn’t enough.
Anyone use these in real world?
Paul G. OBrien:
The CZR specs are believable.. the DZR not at all. If anything the CZR should get louder than they are claiming.. 98dB +32db gain from 1000w equals 130dB. And even more confounding the SPL numbers for the DZRs are claimed as "measured" but I just don't see how. Even a super short 3-4khz signal burst could only produce maybe 135dB peak but what good is that when the end user expects fullrange output.
Dave Guilford:
I used to have a bunch of dxr , a step down , and they were way overachievers. The DZR would be amazing. But I figured their amp has filters and such. I wonder if I could get tunings for my itech or xti amps.

Yamaha publishes full settings for the CZR speakers. Of course all processors are different but this should provide a good starting point.

Paul G. OBrien:
These boxes are overachievers, Yamaha+Nexo have managed performance that exceeds the sum of the parts so I really don't see the average end user replicating all of that with external amps and processing.
But that said, I'm also a DXR owner and if it's more SPL than those produce that you want/need than a DSR, DZR or even a CZR with 1000-1500w peak into it will get you there. And that is simply because the rated output for the DXR is similarly juiced, no way this box produces more than about 125db continuous with fulrange material.
