Short answer: these RCF ART 935-A and RCF NX 915-A alternatives share a brand and size class, but their coverage, driver architecture, cabinet format, processing, and output priorities can make them fit very different jobs.
Why choose the RCF ART 935-A. The bigger-voice-coil compression driver, 133dB claimed peak and broad 100° x 60° coverage mirror the well-regarded ART 932-A’s design in a 15-inch cabinet. At 53.4 lbs (24.2 kg) it stays manageable for a box this size.
Why choose the RCF NX 915-A. The plywood enclosure, FiRPHASE/Bass Motion Control processing and flexible rigging make it a sturdier systems alternative to the ART 715-A MK5, with a wide 100° x 60° pattern and 131dB claimed peak.
What to weigh before buying. 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. The truncated vendor measurement does not yield a preference score, preventing a confident tonal comparison with the scored leaders. At 53.1 lbs (24.1 kg) it is notably heavier than the ART-series alternatives.
Buy the RCF ART 935-A when its stated coverage, output, processing, and deployment format best match the job.
Buy the RCF NX 915-A when its stated strengths are the better match for the room and the rest of the PA.

Frequency Response Compared
Both speakers’ spinorama measurements, overlaid. A flatter line is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. Each curve is shifted so its average from 300 Hz to 3 kHz sits at 0 dB, so loudness differences between the two are removed and only the shape is compared.
