Ruark Audio Talisman-R Speakers

Description

As with the original Taliman released in 1990, the Talisman-R is a high-quality two way, bass reflex design and 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 optimized crossover, with particular attention paid to phase integration, using premium audio-grade capacitors, resistors and low-loss inductors, for best signal transfer and reduced distortion. The outcome is speakers that produce a lifelike stereo soundstage with a natural and deeply engaging sound.

Ruark has 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 their 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 and lined with compound wadding, which absorbs energy across a broader frequency range and helps control internal standing waves. The result is an enclosure with exceptionally low colouration, delivering sound that is clean, natural and pure.

The new Talisman-R and R710 together create a formidable package. Talisman-R also work well with Ruark's R610 Music Console, but whichever you choose, the thrill and delight that music and sound can bring is guaranteed.
