{"product_id":"ruark-audio-sabre-r-bookshelf-speakers","title":"Ruark Audio Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ruark Sabre-R is a compact, rear-ported bookshelf speaker built for listeners who want rich, detailed sound from a stand or bookshelf. It pairs a 28mm silk dome tweeter with a 130mm NS+ natural fibre mid-bass driver inside a damped and braced wood composite enclosure, delivering the kind of midrange warmth and bass weight that makes you forget you're listening to a bookshelf speaker. Bi-wireable binding posts and a choice of Fused Walnut or Satin Charcoal finishes round out a speaker that punches well above its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features of the Ruark Sabre-R\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic 2-Way Bookshelf Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e A compact, rear-ported loudspeaker engineered for musical, engaging performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuark 28mm Silk Dome Tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom silk dome with neodymium motor delivers smooth, detailed high frequencies without fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuark 15cm NS+ Mid-Bass Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e Treated natural fibre cone with long-throw motor for articulate midrange and extended bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamped and Braced Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Damped and braced wood composite construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Wireable Crossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two sets of gold-plated binding posts allow single or bi-wire connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Flared Bass Reflex Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double flared rear port tuned to 53Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemovable Magnetic Grille:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acoustically transparent cloth grille attaches magnetically for a clean look on or off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Premium Finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fused Walnut veneer or Satin Charcoal lacquer, both with Walnut slat trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSabre-R Heritage\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Sabre loudspeaker was the product that launched Ruark in 1985. Father and son Brian and Alan O'Rourke founded Ruark Acoustics with a shared passion for sound, and that first speaker earned immediate critical acclaim. Four decades on, the Sabre-R brings the story full circle. With many customers still enjoying the original Sabre, the Sabre-R was designed to enthral a new generation of music lovers with the same enduring commitment to musicality. Like its predecessor, these are speakers built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSabre-R Driver Technology\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sabre-R's performance is built around a carefully matched pair of custom drivers. The 28mm silk dome tweeter uses a neodymium magnet and aluminium heatsink to produce high frequencies that are sweet and detailed without ever turning harsh or fatiguing. Below it, a 130mm NS+ mid-bass driver with a treated natural fibre cone handles the midrange and low end. It uses a long-throw motor system with a 30mm 4-layer voice coil. The crossover at 1.9kHz blends the two drivers cleanly across the frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/sabre-r-07_19802c14-31d7-4e31-a9b7-875c637ba442.jpg?v=1776568036\" alt=\"Ruark Sabre-R driver detail showing 28mm silk dome tweeter and 130mm NS+ woofer\" style=\"border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSabre-R Cabinet Construction\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA speaker cabinet should be acoustically invisible. You want to hear the drivers, not the box. Ruark engineered the Sabre-R's 6.8-litre enclosure to get out of the way. The cabinet is damped and braced wood composite construction, and the double-flared rear port is tuned to 53Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe veneers carry real eco credentials. Sustainable woods are skillfully spliced and recomposed to resemble slow-growing hardwoods, resulting in unique grain patterns and finishes you would normally find only on fine furniture. The craftsmanship is as deliberate as the engineering behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSabre-R Connection Options\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sabre-R offers connection flexibility you would normally find on much larger loudspeakers. Two sets of high-quality, gold-plated 4mm binding posts let you run a standard single-wire configuration or take advantage of bi-wiring. Running separate cables to the tweeter and mid-bass driver can improve clarity, open up the soundstage, and let you extract the full performance the Sabre-R is capable of delivering. The 6-ohm nominal impedance (4.2-ohm minimum) and 86dB sensitivity mean any quality amplifier from 25 to 100 watts will drive these speakers comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSabre-R Placement and Finishes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sabre-R's compact dimensions (H290 x W175 x D215mm) make it a natural fit for dedicated stands or bookshelves. Ruark recommends placing the rear of the speakers 10-20cm from the rear wall. Magnetic grilles snap on and off cleanly, giving you the option of a sleek covered look or a more technical aesthetic with the drivers exposed. Available in Fused Walnut veneer or Satin Charcoal lacquer, both with Walnut slat trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/sabre-r-06_ea0b0bf5-85ca-4a22-854e-b5d5fe65941f.jpg?v=1776568042\" alt=\"Ruark Sabre-R Fused Walnut finish with binding posts visible\" style=\"border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eExplore the Ruark Audio Range\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ruark-audio-r610-music-console\" title=\"Ruark R610 Music Console\"\u003eRuark R610 Music Console\u003c\/a\u003e is the ideal amplifier for the Sabre-R, with Burr-Brown DAC, phono stage, and streaming built in.
