A, B, C: What Used Audio Condition Grades Actually Mean
Most used gear listings say 'excellent condition' and nothing else. Here is the grading system we use, what each grade costs you in practice, and when grade C is the smarter purchase.
Overview
This is a used pair of RCF ART 310-A active two-way loudspeakers in black molded enclosures. Both units show visible cosmetic wear including light scuffs on the cabinet edges and some dust accumulation on the grilles, but the front mesh and RCF badges remain intact. The rear panels and handles appear structurally sound with typical handling marks.
