439.0. "Ruark speakers anyone?" by YUPPY::AMERR () Mon Aug 23 1993 10:13

    Has anyone any practical experience of/exposure to RUARK speakers which
    I saw (but did not hear!) last week.
    
    Also, has anyone any experience of the Doug Brady chain of high-end
    hi-fi shops; I believe they have 3-4 other branches throughout the UK
    in addition to the one near Holborn I found last week.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Russell.

    I once went into the Doug Brady's near Seven Dials for a demonstration
    of something (Micromega CD player I think), as I just happened to be
    passing the shop. I wasn't incredibly impressed with the service, but
    it was all rather short notice for them.

439.2Pair of SabresUPROAR::WEIGHTMAct, Don't ReactWed Aug 25 1993 13:5312
I've got a pair of Ruark Acoustics' Sabre speakers which I bought about 5 
years ago.  Not much to say except I haven't grown tired of them yet so 
they can't be all that bad!  I chose them after auditioning against some 
Monitor Audios (can't remember which ones now) at a specialist hifi 
dealer in Cambridge (can't remember who).  I think they cost me about 250 
pounds back then, not including stands.

I use them with a Quad 33/306 pre/power amp combination and an old Sony 
CD player which really needs replacement due to an unreliable tray 
mechanism (I'm thinking about the new Arcam Alpha CD player).
