MR1 Mk3
Ruark Audio · £399
Worth being NRY provisional
A genuine stereo pair small enough for a desk, re-engineered from the ground up rather than refreshed, in the veneer Ruark use across the range. Two speakers a foot apart does something no single box can, which is the entire argument for these over a smart speaker at the same money. At £399 they are the cheapest real stereo on this page.
- For
- Someone working at a desk who wants stereo rather than a clever mono box.
- Not for
- Anyone who needs one speaker in one place, where a single unit is tidier.
What we checked
- Ruark rebuilt the MR1 from the ground up for this generation. Richer Sounds
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
