{"product_id":"ruark-audio-talisman-r-floorstanding-speakers","title":"Ruark Audio Talisman-R Floorstanding Speakers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ruark Talisman-R Floorstanding Speakers are designed for listeners who want a refined floorstanding speaker that looks as considered as it sounds. Inspired by the original 1990 Talisman, this new version keeps the slim silhouette and angled baffle concept while updating the acoustic design for modern hi-fi systems and Ruark’s 100 Series styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach speaker uses a 6.5-inch long-throw Ruark NS+ treated fibre woofer and a 27mm silk dome tweeter, combined through an optimised second-order crossover with premium audio components. The dual-flared bass reflex cabinet supports a typical in-room response of 40Hz-22kHz, giving music natural weight without overwhelming the room. A decoupled baffle, internal bracing, compound wadding, solid steel plinth, and supplied rubber feet or carpet spikes all help control resonance and improve stability. With 87dB sensitivity, 6-ohm nominal impedance, and recommended amplifier power of 50-250W, Talisman-R is well suited to serious stereo systems, including Ruark’s R710 and R610 music consoles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTalisman-R reinterprets one of Ruark’s most recognisable loudspeaker designs for today’s living spaces. Its slim cabinet and gently sloped baffle give it a more furniture-like presence than a conventional box speaker, helping it blend comfortably with modern décor. Updated finishes and styling inspired by Ruark’s 100 Series add a clean, considered look without losing the character of the original. The floorstanding format also provides the scale and cabinet volume needed for confident stereo performance, making it well suited to dedicated listening areas and shared family rooms alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table specification-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeaker Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloorstanding Speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 Hz – 22 kHz (Typical In-Room)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTweeter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 mm Silk Dome With Neodymium Motor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWoofer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 × 6.5\" (17 cm) Ruark NS+ Long-Throw Driver\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nTreated Fibre Cone\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n35 mm 2-Layer Copper Voice Coil\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nStrontium Ferrite Motor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCabinet Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-Flared Tuned Bass Reflex With Decoupled Baffle Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCabinet Volume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.5 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTuning Frequency\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 Ω (Minimum 3.8 Ω @ 5 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCrossover Frequency\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.2 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCrossover Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptimised 2nd Order\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nPremium Audio Film Capacitors\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nLow-Loss Inductors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87 dB (2.83 V \/ 1 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 – 250 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeaker Connections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Gold-Plated 4 mm Binding Posts\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nSingle-Wire Or Bi-Wire\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nCompatible With Banana Plugs, Spade Terminals And Bare Wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrille\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemovable Magnetic Frame With Acoustically Transparent Fabric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFused Walnut Veneer Baffle With Charcoal Cabinet And Mottled Fabric Grille\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nSatin Charcoal Lacquer Baffle With Charcoal Cabinet And Mottled Fabric Grille\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions (W × H × D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e210 × 850 × 250 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.6 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuick Start Guide\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nAdjustable Rubber Coned Feet\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nAdjustable Carpet Spikes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCarton Dimensions (W × H × D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e325 × 975 × 395 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePackaged Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Code\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTALR-CHR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEAN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5060637250488\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Ruark Audio","offers":[{"title":"Fused Walnut","offer_id":64492246565241,"sku":null,"price":1499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal","offer_id":64492246598009,"sku":null,"price":1499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/5342\/3091\/files\/preview_246f6131-a719-4aea-b68e-793764468f84.jpg?v=1788695005","url":"https:\/\/james-morrow.com\/products\/ruark-audio-talisman-r-floorstanding-speakers","provider":"James-Morrow Entertainment Systems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
