Cosmetic condition rating is 8/10 - Outstanding - The cabinets have no deep scratches, very few fine scratches except at the bottom edges where some scraping has occured. All wheels are perfect in function. There are no holes in grills, no missing pegs/pins and tweeters are perfect. A few pin-size "pills" are on the top square grills, and the facing grills show rare pen-point size white spots (perhaps rub spots from transport in the styrofoam). One speaker has a loose speaker-wire connector unit but NO functional issues. One speaker has a discoloration mark (pencil eraser size) and a semi-circular mark ~ 2mm thick and 3cm long on the top of one mid-range cube. The boxes have been used and taped repeatedly. Some styrofoam breakage has occurred at the bases. Please view all of our high-resolution photos for full details of the cosmetic condition as well as exactly what is included.
