Sabre R
$999 / pairCheck availability ↗
Product description
The Sabre was Ruark's first product in the early 1980s, and this is the name coming back: a 130 mm cone and a 27 mm silk dome crossed low at 1.9 kHz, in 6.8 litres tuned to 53 Hz. The port is at the back and the double flare curves up inside the cabinet, so it wants 10 to 15 cm of air behind it. Five kilos, and the walnut slat across the foot is the family signature.
