Ruark Audio R7 Mk3 (Soft Grey)

”Beautiful modern furniture married to one of the most versatile music systems around. Just sublime.” ‘Trusted Reviews’ – 5-Star review

Sound with style
Combining the best of retro style with modern technology, the Ruark R7 MK3 is totally unique. Unlike most one-in-one systems, the R7 MK3 is self-supporting, with its legs not only giving it the presence of a piece of stylish furniture but also raising the speakers to the perfect height for listening pleasure.

Luxurious wood and lacquer finishes
Ruark have a long held reputation for producing some of the finest wood-finished speakers and the R7 MK3 is no exception. Using real wood veneers and soft lacquer finishes, immaculately wrapped around a curved cabinet, the R7 MK3 is as good to look at as it sounds. Contrasting satin black (with walnut finish) or natural cherry (with grey finish) spindle legs are also supplied, although these can be changed for puck feet if you’d prefer to position the system on a shelf or cabinet.

Room-filling sound
The R7 MK3 is the largest R-Series Ruark speaker system and this gives it a powerful and enveloping sound. Featuring a 160 watt amplifier, the R7 MK3 has enough power for larger rooms and is easily capable of matching most conventional separate systems for sheer volume of sound. Augmenting the stereo speakers, a built-in subwoofer gives a deep bass that firmly underpins all types of music.
