It's been 10 years since Ruark Audio unveiled its R7, a "modern-day take on the iconic radiogram" as we noted in our 2013 news story. It elicited 'oohs' and 'aahs' from us back then (and in 2016 when we reviewed the R7 mk2) for adding wireless streaming to an all-in-one 2.1 system that doubled up as beautiful furniture.
We called the R7 mk2 “the best sounding item of retro furniture we’ve ever heard” in our review, but it didn't quite hit the mark when it came to delivering the best sounding music/hi-fi system you could get at its £2000 asking price. But we do have higher hopes for the new Ruark R810.
