The Mk3 improves on that benchmark with redesigned handcrafted enclosures, subtly enlarged to optimize internal volume for the new NS+ long-throw bass\/mid driver. Amplification technology adapted from the R410 brings a significant increase in power and control, while a re-tuned crossover and reflex port complete the acoustic picture. The result is deeper bass, a clear lucid midrange, and exceptional high-frequency detail from the custom 20mm silk dome tweeters. From the shimmer of cymbals to the resonance of a cello, every nuance is delivered with clarity and depth. Ruark has designed and engineered its music systems in-house since 1985, and that four-decade commitment shows here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bevelled front edges and Slate Grey grilles give the enclosures a refined finish that looks as deliberate as it sounds.
