Ruark Talisman-R Floorstanding Loudspeakers

Product Summary

The Ruark Talisman-R is a fourth-generation floorstanding loudspeaker created to celebrate Ruark’s 40 years of music and design. Inspired by the original Talisman from 1990, it combines the distinctive slim profile and sloped baffle with modern driver technology, refined cabinet engineering and finishes designed to complement Ruark’s 100 Series aesthetic.
