Speaker rating question..

Just wondering, in the case of rating the condition of a speaker using Audiogons guide, do you people think the Bottom of a speaker should be taken into the Rating of a speaker?....i ask, as i cant imagine in any situation where a speaker bottom doesnt get scratched while moving them on a floor or placed on a Speaker stand.

So say a speaker is 100% blemish free, but the bottom is scuffed, would that qualify for a 9/10?

The Audiogon rating scale says yes, the bottom of a speaker should be considered.

The 9/10 rating specifies:

"Speakers should be perfect except for the back or bottom, which may show slight indentations from stand mounting, but the indentations do not show through the veneer..."

My interpretation of the rating scale indicates to me that the answer to your question is yes, a floorstander with some bottom scuff marks would still qualify as a 9/10.

Does anyone out there disagree?
