Ruark Audio MR1 Mk2

POWERED SPEAKERS

₨52,350

We loved the first Ruark Audio MR1 desktop speakers when W they emerged in 2013. The retro looks, the intuitive design, the superb wireless sound – it was a winning combination that earned two successive What Hi-Fi? Awards. It was only a matter of time before Ruark Audio unveiled MR1 Mk2. And sure enough, Ruark Audio returned with a vengeance in 2017.

With gorgeous looks, streamlined design and features, and sound quality that’s been improved in every way, the Ruark MR1 Mk2 shot straight to the top of our favourites list.

A whole new level

We said the original Ruark MR1 were the closest any desktop wireless speaker had come to sounding like proper hi-fi, and that’s equally true of the Mk2 version.

In fact, there is a clearer, more insightful and open sound to the Mk2 than their predecessors. They are wonderfully musical. The amount of subtlety conveyed is even greater than before, delivering rich detail and fluid dynamics on a whole new level. There is plenty of space between instruments in the airy soundstage, giving songs an expansive feel that makes rivals sound rather congested in comparison. The Ruarks breathe new life into whatever music you play through them.
