The Ruark R710: Mid-Century Aesthetics, No-Compromise Audiophile Performance

Ruark has always understood that truly great audio gear should elevate both your listening experience and your living space. The new R710 hits that sweet spot perfectly. It pays homage to the iconic, furniture-grade design language of the 1970s while packing a seriously heavy punch under the hood. This isn't just a lifestyle system; it’s a beautifully integrated, high-fidelity solution built for music lovers who refuse to compromise on sound quality or digital convenience.

At its heart is a muscular 2×200W Class-D amplifier, offering the grip and dynamics needed to breathe life into any genre. Source flexibility is incredibly thorough. For physical media collectors, a precision slot-loading CD player is built right in, while digital purists will appreciate native Hi-Res audio decoding up to 32-bit/192kHz.

Streaming is completely seamless with Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, and direct 'Connect' integration for Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz. Ruark has also taken care of your wider home entertainment needs, adding an HDMI ARC/eARC connection to transform your TV sound, alongside versatile wired and Bluetooth headphone outputs for late-night listening.

Key Features:

  • High-Output Amplification: Efficient, powerful 2×200W Class-D amplifier design.
  • Studio-Grade DAC: Supports high-resolution digital playback up to 32-bit/192kHz.
  • Physical Media: Integrated, premium slot-loading CD player.

The AE Active is an updated, fully analogue bi-amplified active loudspeaker designed to deliver true hi-fi performance without external amplification. Combining dual 50W Class A/B power supplies with 6th-generation ceramic/aluminium drivers and Wide Dispersion Technology, it brings reference-grade detail, control, and dynamics to any room.
