Sabre Heritage
For over 40 years, the guiding ethos at Ruark has been to design products that reflect pride of ownership and a true passion for sound. This shared passion led father Brian O’Rourke and son Alan O’Rourke to form Ruark Acoustics and launch their first loudspeaker, Sabre, to great acclaim in 1985.
The latest Sabre-R speakers bring this journey full circle, continuing the original mission with a speaker that, like the original, is designed to be enjoyed for many years to come.
Made to Be Seen
In true Ruark style, attention to detail is paramount, and the Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the ear. Hand-crafted and finished with veneers typically found only on fine furniture, the Sabre-Rs bring understated elegance to both classic and contemporary interiors.
The veneers also carry strong eco credentials, using sustainable woods that are skillfully spliced and recomposed to resemble slow-growing hardwoods with unique and eye-catching grain patterns.
Designed for Sound
Creating a great-sounding speaker is an art mastered only through years of experience. Like a chef who knows how to balance ingredients perfectly, the key lies in understanding what to use and how best to use it.
The cabinets for Sabre-R have been carefully tuned and optimised to provide ideal working conditions for custom long-throw bass-mid drivers. Countless hours have been devoted to fine-tuning the crossovers, ensuring a seamless transition between drivers. The result is a speaker with remarkable musical performance that brings zest and life to every song.

On their own, Sabre-Rs are a compelling choice for listeners seeking high-performance speakers for existing hi-fi separates. For those looking for a complete musical solution, pairing Sabre-R with the R610 creates a formidable combination. Whatever the musical taste, Sabre-R and R610 together form a magical partnership that rekindles the joy and delight that music and sound can bring.
