Ruark Sabre-R Standmount Speakers

Sabre Heritage

For more than 40 years, Ruarks guiding principle has been to design products that they would be proud to own themselves. It was this shared passion for sound that inspired father Brian and son Alan O’Rourke to establish Ruark Acoustics and release their first loudspeaker, the Sabre, to widespread acclaim in 1985. The latest Sabre-R speakers bring Ruark full circle in this mission, offering a product that, like the original, customers will enjoy for many years to come.

Made to Be Seen

In true Ruark fashion, there meticulous attention to detail ensures that the Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers are as visually appealing as they are acoustically impressive. These hand-crafted speakers are adorned with finishes typically reserved for fine furniture, bringing understated elegance to both classic and contemporary interiors. The veneers used are not only aesthetically stunning but also environmentally conscious, featuring sustainable woods that are expertly spliced and recomposed to mimic the unique and captivating grain patterns of slow-growing hardwoods.

Designed for Sound

Creating a great sounding speaker is an art that can only be perfected through years of experience. The cabinets for Sabre-R have been meticulously tuned and optimised to provide ideal working conditions for our custom long-throw bass-mid drivers. Countless hours have been dedicated to fine-tuning the crossovers, ensuring a seamless transition between the drivers. The result is a pair of speakers with an exceptional musical performance that brings every song to life with vibrancy.

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. Find out more about the Ruark R610 Music Centre.
