For sale my recently acquired Ruark CL20 floorstanders in Cherry.
Was going to use these to downsize but a change of direction means they won't get used.
Always wanted to try some of these, so bucket list ticked but space limitations means I can't keep them.
Beautiful condition 9/10 with only the smallest marks hardly noticeable. Drivers and grills both perfect.
The most beautiful looking speakers I have ever owned and sound great too. The Cherry wood finish is stunning.
The previous owner really cared for these and even changed the driver bolts to gold plated ones (to give the classic Ruark Equinox style).
Original bolts, 8mm spikes and 8mm swivel feet also supplied.
Located in Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire close to J26 M62 and J40 M1.
Can deliver within 50-60 miles for fuel cost, but collection OK and can be heard and auditioned with CD, Vinyl on Streming source.
Looking for what I paid, which is £320, which considering that there were £1600 new is reasonable.
Lots of photos to try and show how nice the cherry wood finish is.
Dark mark on one grill is just where I had wiped away a small stain and the cleaner hadn't dried.
