    Default FS - Ruark CL20 speakers in beautiful Cherry

    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.

    Shouldn't the title say 'Ruark'?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
