Short answer: the RCF ART 935-A. It ranks #12 of 62 15-inch pa speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $1,499. The RCF ART 915-A ranks #17, rated 3.8/5, at $1,049, $450 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The case for the RCF ART 935-A: The bigger-voice-coil compression driver, 133dB claimed peak and broad 100° x 60° coverage mirror the well-regarded RCF ART 932-A’s design in a 15-inch cabinet. The tradeoff: The low-quality vendor measurement is truncated and cannot generate a preference score, so its tonal position relies on published engineering and its 12-inch sibling’s reputation rather than a confirmed result.
What the RCF ART 915-A does well: The 15-inch model of RCF’s ART 9 line, with the same 2,100W bi-amplifier and 1.75” voice coil compression driver as the measured RCF ART 912-A and RCF ART 935-A. Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so it can’t be compared with ranked PA speakers.
Buy the RCF ART 935-A. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $450 with the RCF ART 915-A does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
Worth knowing: the RCF ART 915-A has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 3.5 to 4.1, so treat this verdict as provisional.

RCF ART 915-A: $1,049.00 Estimated B&H Photo Video eBay
Same family: the RCF ART 910-A (smaller model, estimated 3.9/5), the RCF ART 912-A (smaller model, rated 4.1/5), the RCF ART 932-A (smaller model, rated 4.2/5), the RCF ART 935-A (larger model, ranked higher, rated 3.9/5) and the RCF ART 945-A (larger model, ranked higher, rated 4.4/5).
Pros: The 15-inch model of RCF’s ART 9 line, with the same 2,100W bi-amplifier and 1.75” voice coil compression driver as the measured RCF ART 912-A and RCF ART 935-A. RCF rates it at 131dB peak with bass to 45Hz, the deepest of the two-way ART 9 boxes, which helps for music without a subwoofer.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so it can’t be compared with ranked PA speakers. At 22 kg it is the heaviest two-way ART 9 model, and like most 15-inch boxes its midrange coverage narrows more than the 10-inch and 12-inch versions.
