The Ruark Sabre-R Bookshelf Speaker marks a revival of the brand's very first loudspeaker series, which gained recognition in 1985 for its exceptional cabinet craftsmanship and advanced driver technology. Now, 40 years later, Ruark have developed a speaker that beautifully combines timeless tradition with modern technical advancements. The Sabre-R integrates innovations such as a 26mm silk dome tweeter with a neodymium motor system and a 15cm natural fibre cone woofer, delivering a refined and natural sound.

With its braced and damped MDF cabinet, the Sabre-R is designed to minimise resonances and distortion. Its two-way tuned bass reflex design enhances and controls bass, while the elegant finishes in Fused Walnut or Satin Charcoal lacquer give it an aesthetic appeal to match its sonic performance. Compact yet powerful, the Sabre-R brings both vintage style and modern acoustic engineering to any listening environment a delight for both long-time Ruark enthusiasts and new generations of audiophiles.

The Ruark R-CD100 USB CD Player has been designed with the Ruark 100 Series in mind, instantly expanding your music options by adding CD playback. Once connected via USB, it's automatically added to your systems source list, delivering high-quality CD audio to the advanced digital-to-analogue converters onboard your Ruark music system.

The precision machined top and bottom plates, combined with the hand-crafted cabinet designed to match the Ruark 100 Series, reduce vibrations to maintain audio fidelity. This is key to critical listening with minimal interference. With support for CD-DA, CD-R, and CD-RW discs, the R-CD100 offers an easy way to add CD compatibility back into your setup.
