Yamaha DXR 10 or RCF Art 310/710

I'm looking for a new active PA speakers for two different bands. Other band is pop/rock group which has two electric guitars, bass and drum tracks via iPad with three singers and the other band is four female singers with keyboards. At first we are going to buy two speakers and later on we will be adding at least one subwoofer for pop/rock band use. Idea is that everything (including bass) is going through the PA, no backline at all. Set should be easy to lug around. After doing some online research I have decided to choose one of the following: Yamaha DXR 10, RCF Art 310a MK III or RCF Art 710a MK II? I haven't had a change to listen any of them yet. Which speakers would be your choice? FYI: QSC K-serie is little bit too expensive... Thanks in advantage.

RCF in a heart beat
IMHO , RCF are the best active PVC boxes out there compared to JBL , QSC , EV , etc....

Yamaha is also good but I would go with the 710a

Never heard the RCFs but do hear great things about their sound. Only negative I hear is that if you have any problems customer service is awful to non existent.

I have nothing but good things to say about the sound my DXR12s. The cabinets get a bad rap for scratching easily though so get covers. Warranty is 7 years! There are probably more of them around and dealers too so that is a plus in my books if you do have problems or want to expand/replace/have spares etc.

Prices in Finland (Europe) are following: Art 310a MK III (400€), Art 710a MK II (500€) and Yamaha DXR10 (600€). Yamaha's 7 year warranty is a big deal. Later on I will get one sub which I would like to be same brand as tops and what I have heard/read is that Yamaha sub are not that good...
