Ruark Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers
Crafted to Captivate
First introduced in 1985, Ruark are proud to announce the return of one of their original iconic loudspeaker names and their first ever music console.
Uniting sonic excellence with elegant aesthetics, the R610 Music Console and Sabre-R bookshelf speakers revive the stereo concept as a complete music system for the modern era and embody Ruark’s incredible journey from father-and-son venture to British hi-fi hero.
Evoking the stereo music centres of the 1970s and echoing the rest of Ruark’s award-winning 100 Series lineup, the R610 Music Console & Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers bring timeless style to any interior space.
From the beautiful handcrafted cabinets to the trademark RotoDial controller and custom high-fidelity drive units, only the finest materials and components have been used to create a hi-fi system with truly wide ranging appeal.
With many Ruark customers still delighting in the original Sabre loudspeakers, the Sabre-Rs have likewise been designed to last and enthral new generations of music lovers, with their ability to breathe new life into every song.
A celebration of Ruark’s heritage, the speakers have been exquisitely crafted and refined with the understanding
of how each component combines to deliver a stunning, natural, musical experience that you will enjoy endlessly.
In true Ruark style, the Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the ear. Compact and
formed with a high-quality finish usually only found on fine furniture, the Sabre-Rs bring understated elegance to both classic and contemporary environments.
“Early in 1984, my father and I were laying the foundations of Ruark and launched our first Sabre loudspeakers to great acclaim in 1985. Forty years on, the revival of analogue formats and an ever expanding world of music streaming means it’s the right time for Ruark to return to its roots with the Sabre-R. What’s more, our new R610 Music Console allows music lovers to build an entire system that looks every bit as beautiful as it sounds.”
