#35 RCF ART 712-A MK4: $509.00 B&H Photo Video Guitar Center eBay

Pros: The 17.8kg cabinet combines 129dB claimed peak output, a broad horn and RCF’s FiRPHASE processing in a straightforward package. Its measured response extends to roughly 65Hz before the first major roll-off.

Cons: The low-quality vendor measurement is truncated and cannot produce a reliable preference score. This discontinued MK4 offers little reason to choose it over the newer ART 712-A MK5 unless the used price is substantially lower.

Related speakers: RCF ART 712-A MK5.
