Now, as part of Ruark's ongoing commitment to create music systems that you will love to use, we are proud to introduce R710, a seamless fusion of 70s inspired design and powerful modern technology. Combining traditional values with digital convenience, R710 is a music system that you will actually want in your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated slot-loading CD player\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-Resolution music support up to 32-bit\/192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast and Internet Radio built-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWired and Bluetooth headphone support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful Class-D amplifier, 2 × 200W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDMI ARC\/eARC connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePower Perfected\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeneath R710’s sleek exterior is a modern switch-mode power supply, which provides optimised feeds to the system’s electronics and custom amplifiers. Diligence has been paid in the layout of the circuit boards, keeping signal paths short, with optimal grounding for low noise. With audio-grade components used throughout and a powerful output of 200 watts per channel, R710 produces sound that is effortless, making all genres of music engaging and enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTangible Tactility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tactility of R710 is tangible throughout. The RotoDial controller has been a hallmark of Ruark's products since 2006, and redeveloped for the 100 Series, it makes operating R710 easy and enjoyable. Also included is a matching rechargeable Bluetooth remote. Beautiful to see and hold, it is something you’ll genuinely love using every day. Finally adding further to R710’s aura, is the large colour display. From system menus to station and album artwork, everything is displayed with crystal clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEverything a Serious Listener Needs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its quad-core processor, R710 handles high-resolution streaming with ease. Featuring Spotify Connect, Qobuz Connect, TIDAL Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Internet Radio and HD Bluetooth, it offers countless ways to enjoy music. R710 also supports playback from networked media servers and USB storage devices, and its HDMI ARC\/eARC capability delivers an immersive sound experience for film and TV viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStreaming offers convenience, but R710 has also been designed for lifelong vinyl and CD enthusiasts, to renew your connection with these timeless formats. Its built-in phono stage allows easy connection of a turntable and the integrated CD player, subtly concealed within the wooden slats, is a stroke of genius. With uncompressed audio, CD can still better streaming in sound quality, and as possibly the last tangible music format, we believe that CDs are here to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Perfect Match\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuark are delighted to announce the return of one of their best-known loudspeakers, first launched in 1990. The design and sound of R710 and Talisman-R partner perfectly to create a music system guaranteed to reignite your passion for music. If you’re looking for smaller speakers, then Ruark's Sabre-R speakers are also a perfect match. Whether you’re seeking a complete system or just want to upgrade your current amplifier, R710 is a great choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Ruark Audio\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuark is a family-owned British company with a fantastic team. Music and design are their passion, and they work tirelessly to ensure their products enhance their surroundings and sound as good as they look. From stylish radios to integrated music systems to stereo systems, all Ruark products are developed at their premises in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, following their obsession of creating timeless products that customers will cherish and enjoy for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRuark Talisman-R Floorstanding Speaker\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original Talisman was launched in 1990, and they did something most speakers never managed: they made people fall in love with how a speaker looked before they’d even heard them play. That slim silhouette, that sloped baffle, Talisman felt like they belonged in a home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTalisman-R carries this legacy into the now. The connection between the original and new is clear, but with years of accumulated knowledge, Talisman-R incorporates innovations that bring a new level of performance along with a design that marries perfectly with our 100 Series aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference floor-standing design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew decoupled baffle system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuned bass reflex design with dual flared port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuark 27mm silk dome tweeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuark 165mm\/6.5\" NS+ long throw woofer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTalisman Heritage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Ruark introduced the original Talisman in 1990, we were still a fledgling company looking to gain traction in the Hi-Fi world. Then (and still today) most speakers were rectangular and plain with little thought given to their aesthetic design and it was here that we saw our opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTalisman was developed as the antithesis to those ordinary speakers and became the model that defined Ruark and built our reputation for designing products that look as good as they sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNatural, Pure Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the original, Talisman-R is a high-quality two-way, bass reflex design and retains our preference for natural driver materials, featuring a custom-designed 165mm long throw treated fibre NS+ woofer along with 27mm silk dome tweeter. The drivers are unified via a carefully optimised crossover, with particular attention paid to phase integration, using premium audio-grade capacitors, resistors and low-loss inductors, for best signal transfer and reduced distortion. The outcome is speakers that produce a lifelike stereo soundstage with a natural and deeply engaging sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Ruark Talisman-R floorstanding speakers in a living room\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2792\/5768\/files\/RuarkTalisman-Rlifestylesmall.jpg?v=1780406028\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEngineered, Inside and Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn area where we have paid special attention is in the development of the Talisman-R enclosures. In any loudspeaker, as much energy is transferred back into the cabinet as is projected forward, so controlling this energy is essential to achieving low-distortion sound. The visible bolts on Talisman-R’s front baffle are integral to our decoupled baffle design, securing the baffle via elastomer bushes that, together with a dual damping strip, help prevent vibration from the drive units from passing into the main cabinet. Internally, the enclosure is carefully braced to further reduce resonance and lined with compound wadding, which absorbs energy across a broader frequency range and helps control internal standing waves. The result is an enclosure with exceptionally low colouration, delivering sound that is clean, natural and pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMade to be Heard and Seen\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design and considered materials of Talisman-R make them as much a part of a room as the sound they create. Their form makes them inherently stable, but to further aid stability the plinth of each is machined from solid steel with threads on each corner for the supplied adjustable rubber feet and carpet spikes. This extra mass lowers their centre of gravity further towards the base, so they are firmly grounded and when viewed from the front gives Talisman-R an attractive floating appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Ruark R710 music system with Talisman-R speakers\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2792\/5768\/files\/RuarkR710withTalisman-Rlifestylesmall.jpg?v=1780406028\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMix and Match\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTalisman-R are undoubtedly a tempting proposition for customers seeking high-performance speakers for their existing hi-fi separates, but for customers wanting a complete music solution, Talisman-R and R710 together create a formidable package.
