R610 & SABRE-R system
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.
“Early in 1984, my father and I were laying the foundations of Ruark and launched our first Sabre loudspeakers to great acclaim in 1985,” says Alan O’Rourke, Managing Director, Ruark.
“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.”
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 hand-crafted cabinets to the trademark RotoDial controller and custom high-fidelity drive units, only the finest quality materials and components have been used to create a hi-fi system with truly wide ranging appeal.
