About The Ruark Audio Sabre-R Speakers
A celebration of Ruark's heritage, Sabre-Rs have been exquisitely crafted and refined with the understanding of how materials and components combine to deliver musicality that you will enjoy endlessly.
With many customers still enjoying Ruark's original Sabre loudspeakers, launched in 1985, the Sabre-Rs have likewise been designed to last and enthral a new generation of music lovers.
Sabre Heritage: For over 40 years Ruark's ethos has always been to design products that they themselves would be proud to own. It was the founders shared passion for sound that led son Alan, and father Brian O'Rourke to form Ruark Acoustics and launch their first loudspeaker called Sabre to great acclaim in 1985. The latest Sabre-R speakers bring Ruark full circle to continue this mission, with a speaker that like the original, customers will enjoy for many years to come.
Made To Be Seen: In true Ruark style, the attention to detail is paramount and the Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the ear. Hand-crafted and clad with finishes usually only found on fine furniture, the Sabre-Rs bring understated elegance to both classic and contemporary interiors. The veneers used also have true eco credentials, where sustainable woods are skilfully spliced and recomposed to resemble slow-growing hardwoods with unique and eye-catching grain patterns.
Designed for Sound: Creating a great sounding speaker is an art that can only be mastered through years of experience. Like a chef who can make your taste buds dance, the key is knowing the ingredients to use and how to best use them. The cabinets for Sabre-R have been carefully tuned and optimised to provide ideal working conditions for the custom long-throw mid/bass drivers and endless hours have been spent fine tuning the crossovers, so a seamless transition between the drivers is attained. The end result are speakers with a remarkable musical performance that breathe zest and life into every song.
Sabre-R + R610 - Perfect Partners: On their own, Sabre-Rs are a tempting proposition for customers seeking high performance speakers for their existing hi-fi separates, but for customers seeking a complete musical solution, Sabre-R and R610 together create a formidable package. Whatever your taste, Sabre-R and R610 creates a magical combination that will have you discovering again the delight that music and sound can bring.
