Where the original defined Ruark's reputation for designing products as beautiful to look at as they are to listen to, Talisman-R brings decades of accumulated knowledge to deliver a new level of performance, while remaining unmistakably, timelessly Ruark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- more --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrice is per pair.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eA Legacy, Refined\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Ruark launched the original Talisman in 1990, it was the antithesis of the plain, rectangular speakers that dominated the market. That slim silhouette and sloped baffle made people fall in love before they'd even heard a note. Talisman-R carries that connection forward — the lineage is clear, but every detail has been reviewed and enhanced with the benefit of 35 years of loudspeaker engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNatural, Pure Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the original, Talisman-R is a high-quality two-way, bass-reflex design with a preference for natural driver materials. A custom-designed \u003cstrong\u003e165mm long-throw NS+ woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e with treated fibre cone pairs with a \u003cstrong\u003e27mm silk dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e with neodymium motor. The drivers are unified via a carefully optimised crossover — premium audio film capacitors, low-loss inductors and meticulous attention to phase integration — for a lifelike stereo soundstage that is natural, engaging and pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDecoupled Baffle Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn any loudspeaker, as much energy is transferred back into the cabinet as is projected forward. Talisman-R addresses this with a \u003cstrong\u003edecoupled baffle system\u003c\/strong\u003e: visible bolts secure the baffle via elastomer bushes and a dual damping strip, preventing driver vibration from passing into the main cabinet. Inside, precision bracing and compound wadding absorb energy across a broad frequency range, controlling internal standing waves. The result is an enclosure with exceptionally low colouration — clean, natural, and pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt to Last, Built to Stand\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTalisman-R's form is inherently stable, but a machined solid steel plinth at the base lowers the centre of gravity further and provides threads for the supplied adjustable rubber feet and carpet spikes. From the front, this creates an attractive floating appearance. Both finishes feature a Charcoal cabinet with a mottled fabric grille — differentiated by either a Fused Walnut veneer baffle or a Satin Charcoal lacquer baffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType: 2-way, tuned bass-reflex with dual flared port, decoupled baffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTweeter: 27mm silk dome, neodymium motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWoofer: 17cm\/6.5\" Ruark NS+ long-throw, treated fibre cone, 35mm 2-layer copper voice coil, Strontium ferrite motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 40Hz–22kHz (typical in-room)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 87dB (2.83V @ 1m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal Impedance: 6Ω (min 3.8Ω @ 5kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrossover: 2.2kHz, optimised 2nd order\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power: 50–250W\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCabinet Volume: 14.5 litres; Tuning Frequency: 42Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnection: Dual gold-plated 4mm multi-way binding posts (single-wire or bi-wire)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrille: Removable magnetic frame with acoustically transparent fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinishes: Fused Walnut veneer baffle \/ Satin Charcoal lacquer baffle — both with Charcoal cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions (per speaker): H850 × W210 × D250mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight (per speaker): 17.6kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSold as a pair.
