about us

Music systems that look great, and sound great...

We are a family-owned British company, passionate about sound and design. At Ruark we’ve been making world-class loudspeakers enjoyed by music and audio enthusiasts for over thirty years. Today we’ve applied those same principles to design and create a new generation of perfectly formed music systems with wide ranging appeal that look fabulous in any space, whether your living room, bedroom or office.

Since launching our first product in November 2006 our models have quickly become regarded as design classics, gaining critical acclaim for their elegant design and outstanding sound quality. Tatler Magazine described our R1 as ‘simply the most beautiful radio in the world’. Today our products are stocked by leading department/design stores, quality independent electrical retailers and increasingly found in the bedrooms of upmarket hotels, including the prestigious London Savoy.

We believe that good music and radio should be listened to through the best systems; and that quality sound should be available not just to hi fi enthusiasts but to every music lover. Whether you’re looking for the best design or the perfect sound, we think you’ll be impressed by what we have to offer. All our products are built to last with a timeless design you will cherish and enjoy for years to come.
