Talisman R

Product description
Ruark's first floorstander in about twenty years, reviving the name of the 1990 Talisman that made the company. A two-way, not a three: one 170 mm treated-fibre cone and a 27 mm silk dome crossed at 2.2 kHz, in 14.5 litres tuned to 42 Hz through a flared front port. The baffle is decoupled from the cabinet, and 17.6 kg in a 21 cm-wide column is most of what that costs.
