    Cool system. Have you had the Ruarks long?

    Default Ruarks

    Yes, about seven years. I bought them from a guy down south. I love Ruark speaker and the Crusaders are a very musical speaker. I have borrowed numerous speakers over the years with the full intention of buying something a more sensitive and up to date. however, i keep gravitating back to the Crusaders. I do really enjoy them.

    I'm also a fan of Ruarks. I would like to try those really big efforts they did about 15 years or more back. The Equinox, I think.

    The Diesis Solitaire takes me back. Loved 'em. Gave them to my sister when I bought Ruark Talismans.

    Lovely system, welcome to AoS Steve

    I couldn't help noticing you have a problem with Mini-Egyptians. Keep on top of it dude or before long you will have an infestation and those tiny pyramids will be popping up everywhere...

    My mum has a dinky pair of Ruark Icon speakers, good for small speakers. I've never heard any larger Ruarks but imagine the sound very good. Good standard of finish too.

    Agree with everyone else... a nice looking setup there - plus Ruark speakers a good choice.
