With many customers still enjoying Ruark’s original Sabre loudspeakers, launched in 1985, the Ruark Audio Sabre-R have likewise been designed to last and enthral a new generations of music lovers.
A celebration of Ruark’s heritage, Sabre-Rs have been exquisitely crafted and refined with the understanding of how materials and components combine to deliver musicality that you will enjoy endlessly.
Sabre Heritage
For over 40 years Ruark’s ethos has always been to design products that they themselves would be proud to own. It was their founder’s shared passion for sound that led son Alan, and Father Brian O’Rourke to form Ruark Acoustics and launch their first loudspeaker called Sabre to great acclaim in 1985. Ruark’s latest Sabre-R speakers bring us full circle to continue this mission, with a speaker that like the original, customers will enjoy for many years to come.
Made to Be Seen
In true Ruark style, their 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 clad with finishes usually only found on fine furniture, the Sabre-Rs bring understated elegance to both classic and contemporary interiors. The veneers used also have true eco credentials, where sustainable woods are skilfully 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 that can only be mastered through years of experience. Like a chef who can make your taste buds dance, the key is knowing the ingredients to use and how to best use them. The cabinets for Sabre-R have been carefully tuned and optimised to provide ideal working conditions for Ruark’s custom long-throw bass-mid drivers and endless hours have been spent fine tuning the crossovers, so a seamless transition between the drivers is attained. The end result are speakers with a remarkable musical performance that breathe zest and life into every song.
Sabre-R + R610 | Perfect Partners
On their own, Sabre-Rs are a tempting proposition for customers seeking high performance speakers for their existing hi-fi separates, but for customers seeking a complete musical solution, Sabre-R and R610 together create a formidable package. Whatever your taste, Sabre-R and R610 creates a magical combination, which will have you discovering again the delight that music and sound can bring.
Based on the South East Coast of England, Ruark Audio are a family-owned company with an amazing passionate team.
Ruark Audio was formed in 1985 by Alan O’Rourke and his father. In the beginning they made loudspeaker systems for audio enthusiasts, but since 2006 they’ve applied their
skills to create radios and music systems with wide ranging appeal that look and sound fabulous in any space.
Ruark have three key objectives…
Ruark’s aim is to create design icons of the future! Clean lines and proportions allied to special features such as our RotoDial control system make their products unique and instantly recognisable.
Ruark’s goal is for class-leading performance, intuitive operation and functions that are really beneficial, rather than frivolous features that may seldom be used.
Since launch, their models have become regarded as the finest available, gaining critical acclaim, including the Sunday Telegraph memorably describing Ruark’s first generation R1 as ‘the Aston Martin of DAB radios’. This statement concisely describes their company ethos.
Whether you’re looking for beautiful design or perfect sound, Ruark believe you’ll be impressed by what they have to offer. They also pride themselves on their customer service, so should you have a question or need assistance, they will always do their utmost to help.

Founded by David McCaffrey, Revelation Audio brings together over 20 years of deep experience in the audio-visual industry. David has worked with some of the world’s most respected brands — including Arcam, Tannoy, Panasonic, Sony, and JBL — giving him unparalleled insight into what truly delivers outstanding sound quality.
After two decades helping shape the industry, David opened Revelation Audio to focus on what matters most: carefully curated, high-performance audio solutions tailored to real people and real listening spaces. We specialise in both analogue and digital sources, state-of-the-art amplifiers, and loudspeakers that reveal every nuance of your music.
My passion for music runs deep and has been the driving force behind everything I do at Revelation Audio. For me, music isn’t just background noise — it’s emotion, storytelling, energy, and escape all at once. I love how a perfectly reproduced track can transport you, make your heart race, or bring tears to your eyes. Some of my favourite artists right now include Karsh Kale for his groundbreaking fusion of Indian classical with electronic grooves, Etherwood for those soulful, atmospheric drum & bass journeys, and Tom Misch for his effortless blend of jazz, soul, and groove. But my tastes are truly eclectic — one minute I’m deep into jazz fusion or classic rock, the next I’m exploring ambient electronica, vintage soul, progressive metal, or world music from every corner of the globe. That wide-ranging love is exactly why I’m so committed to systems that can handle anything you throw at them with honesty, detail, and musicality.
