Ruark designed the R710 as a more powerful and complete companion to the R610 Music Console. Its custom switch‑mode power supply feeds a carefully engineered multi‑layer PCB and bespoke digital amplifiers, delivering clean, low‑noise performance. With audio‑grade components and up to 200 watts per channel, the R710 produces effortless, engaging sound across all types of music.
Driven by a quad‑core CPU, the R710 handles high‑resolution audio with ease and supports Spotify Connect, Qobuz Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Internet Radio and apt‑X HD Bluetooth. It also plays from networked media servers and USB storage, while HDMI ARC/eARC brings immersive sound to home viewing. This makes the system a versatile hub for both music and film.
Ruark’s passion for physical formats is reflected in the R710’s built‑in phono stage for turntables and its integrated CD drive, supporting the renewed interest in vinyl and CDs. With uncompressed audio and a tactile listening experience, these formats remain compelling. Altogether, the R710 is built not only for serious listeners but for anyone who wants extraordinary sound paired with elegant design.

Talisman‑R is a two‑way bass‑reflex speaker built around Ruark’s preferred natural‑material drivers: a 165mm long‑throw fibre NS+ woofer and a 27mm silk‑dome tweeter. These are blended through a premium crossover using high‑grade components to ensure low distortion and a smooth, natural frequency response.
Ruark placed major emphasis on the enclosure design, as controlling internal energy is essential for clean sound. The front baffle is decoupled using elastomer bushes and damping strips to reduce vibration transfer, while internal bracing and compound wadding minimise standing waves and cabinet colouration. The result is an enclosure engineered for purity and accuracy.
The speaker’s tall, tapered form is inherently stable, further reinforced by a heavy 10mm steel plinth with adjustable feet and spikes. This adds mass, improves grounding, and gives the speaker a distinctive floating look. Overall, Talisman‑R is made for listeners who want high‑quality sound in a design that blends beautifully into the home.
