Ruark Talisman-R Floorstanding Speakers – Fused Walnut

• Fused Walnut Veneer Baffle with Charcoal Cabinet, Walnut Slat Trim & Mottled Fabric Grille
• Talisman Heritage
  • When Ruark Introduced The Original Talisman in 1990, They Were Still a Fledgling Company Looking To Gain Traction In The Hi-Fi World
    • Then (And Still Today) Most Speakers Were Rectangular & Plain With Little Thought Given To Their Aesthetic Design & It Was Here That Ruark Saw Their Opportunity
  • Talisman Was Developed As The Antithesis To Those Ordinary Speakers & Became The Model That Defined Ruark & Built Their Reputation For Designing Products That Look As Good As They Sound
• Natural, Pure Sound
  • Like The Original, Talisman-R Is a High-Quality Two-Way, Bass Reflex Design & Retains Ruark’s Preference For Natural Driver Materials, Featuring a Custom Designed 165mm Long Throw Treated Fibre NS+ Woofer Along With 27mm Silk Dome Tweeter
  • The Drivers Are Unified Via a Carefully Optimised Crossover, With Particular Attention Paid To Phase Integration, Using Premium Audio-Grade Capacitors, Resistors & Low-Loss Inductors, For Best Signal Transfer & Reduced Distortion
  • The Outcome Is Speakers That Produce A Lifelike Stereo Soundstage With a Natural & Deeply Engaging Sound
• Engineered, Inside & Out
  • An Area Where Ruark Have Paid Special Attention Is In The Development Of The Talisman-R Enclosures
    • In Any Loudspeaker, As Much Energy Is Transferred Back Into The Cabinet As Is Projected Forward, So Controlling This Energy Is Essential To Achieving Low-Distortion Sound
    • The Visible Bolts On Talisman-R’s Front Baffle Are Integral To Ruark’s Decoupled Baffle Design, Securing The Baffle Via Elastomer Bushes That, Together With a Dual Damping Strip, Help Prevent Vibration From The Drive Units From Passing Into The Main Cabinet
    • Internally, The Enclosure Is Carefully Braced To Further Reduce Resonance & Lined With Compound Wadding, Which Absorbs Energy Across a Broader Frequency Range & Helps Control Internal Standing Waves
    • The Result Is An Enclosure With Exceptionally Low Colouration, Delivering Sound That Is Clean, Natural & Pure
• Made To Be Heard & Seen
  • The Design & Considered Materials Of Talisman-R Make Them As Much a Part Of The Room As The Sound They Create
    • Their Form Makes Them Inherently Stable, But To Further Aid Stability The Plinth Of Each Is Machined From Solid Steel With Threads On Each Corner For The Supplied Adjustable Rubber Feet & Carpet Spikes
    • This Extra Mass Lowers Their Centre Of Gravity Further Towards The Base, So They Are Firmly Grounded & When Viewed From The Front Gives Talisman-R An Attractive Floating Appearance
