Been gassing for an FRFR for my Helix for a while. Popped into LMS for a butchers at the DXR10.
Yeah. They look nice. Assistant pops over and we have a chat. "The Yamaha is great, but why not A/B it with the QSC K10.2"
Er, the what? Well. Ok.
Crikey. It's loud. Really bloody loud. Like a lot louder than the DXR10. It also has substantially better bass response.
"Its got different DSP settings on it" says the assistant "See? There's a bass amp one too - you can plug a bass in direct to channel B and set it to instrument and..."
I heard blah blah blah from then on. Tried a passive bass into channel B and it was basically a good solid bass combo amp. A really good articulate bass amp.
It also has a flat studio monitor setting, and two combo sockets so you can do mic, line, instrument etc. With the DSP settings you could use it for vocals, an acoustic instrument with or without Preamp, a bass, a Helix, or pretty much any combination of them.
Its 14kg and just slightly smaller than the DXR10. It's about £100 more. 6 year warranty. Its rated at about 2000w peak and 1200w constant. Sits on the floor as a wedge or upright, or on a stand.
Basically, I'll use it live as a bass monitor and DI to front of house. I can use my mini board with Preamp DI on it or Helix. Crikey.

I can't see them going below £100 though, even with the BF deals!
A lot cleaner than the Bose they replaced, lighter too. Bloody loud with it, as @Bridgehouse is quickly discovering.

For instrument use that aggression in the QSCs can be a big advantage, and we're talking differences that you only really hear when back-to-back listening.
Tho I'm not gonna let you try it in case you feel compelled to upgrade and get in trouble with Mrs horse
You can balance the channel volume and Helix volume for perfectly acceptable bedroom style levels.
