FS: Ruark Templar Speaker

[Bigman80]

Hi all,

Bought these recently. They are in nice condition but not perfect.

They are an excellent speaker. Very balanced and clean. Sonically neutral and have surprisingly low bottom end.

The best recommendation for the speaker's is that I've never heard a bad word about them.

No Postage due to weight (they are both sand filled, probably got 1lb in both of them)

I also have the floor spikes.

Both mid/bass drivers are immaculate and the the treble driver(?) Is perfect too. No creases or wrinkles at all.

They do have some age related marks and the ones I've found are highlighted in the pictures. There may be more I haven't noticed so I insist on an inspection before purchasing. They can be demonstrated working.

Here a lots of very good pictures to satisfy our Mods !!!! 😀

I had to try had to get a picture of this as photographing black item in detail is difficult. When the speaker is in use and sounding fantastic, this is not visible to me from my seating position and I'll be surprised if you noticed it in the overview pictures.

Matching serial numbers too. I found one of the grill posts missing when I took delivery of them and a few pulls on the grills but for very sensible money I don't think you can go wrong with these.

In the spirit of the Forum I'll take £130 for them which is less than I paid.

Oliver.

These were about £700 new 20 years ago. Good small speaker, sealed cab, no ports, easy load, work close to wall, ideal for the smaller room.

Yes Macca, they are very excellent indeed. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Thanks Richie and Al for looking out for me - but Oliver is unfortunately beyond my acceptable commute distance! Pleased for Oliver to see there's plenty of local interest in them, somebody's going to get a lovely pair of speakers.

Hi Gary,

Yes, was nice to meet you too ! A very enjoyable morning indeed. I haven't hooked the components up yet as I haven't got enough cables but I'll put my findings in a post when I have had a good listen.

Oliver.
