Ruark Audio began as a father-and-son venture in 1985, when Brian and Alan O’Rourke set up a small workshop in Rayleigh, Essex, to develop high-quality loudspeaker systems. Their dedication to perfecting the loudspeaker quickly earned Ruark a strong reputation among audio enthusiasts. After years of growth, they expanded into larger premises in Southend-on-Sea, where they still operate today. In 2006, Ruark shifted focus from loudspeaker design and launched their first tabletop radio, ushering in a new era of high-quality lifestyle products that blend elegantly into the home while retaining the ‘audiophile’ label. Since then, the brand has evolved into a prominent name in the lifestyle audio market, critically acclaimed for its beautifully modern take on the ‘radiogram’ form factor and its smart radios that combine modern technology with retro-inspired designs. A true standout in our showroom, Ruark Audio’s appeal is unmatched for both the casual listener and the audio enthusiast.
