At roughly a metre wide and 65cm tall on its included chrome stand, the R810 occupies the spot where a sideboard, a media console, and a serious hi-fi system used to live as three separate things. Ruark has made it one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIt's also a pointed engineering statement.

Pair that with a proper 4.1 speaker system (two silk dome tweeters, two NS+ mid-bass woofers, and a downward-firing 200mm long-throw subwoofer), and you get a soundstage that single-cabinet systems usually can't approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Hi-Fi?\u003c\/em\u003e called the R810 Ruark's \"natural evolution of the R7\" with the brand pulling out \"all the stops\" for its flagship. \u003cem\u003eAVForums\u003c\/em\u003e singled it out as \"the most stereo-sounding single chassis device\" they could remember testing.

Because the R810 is a metre wide, the left and right channels actually have room to breathe — vocals lock to a central image while instruments spread across a soundstage that genuinely escapes the cabinet.

whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between the Ruark R810 and the R410?\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003eR410\u003c\/strong\u003e is Ruark's mid-range all-in-one — 120W Class D, 2.0 stereo, compact, designed to sit on a sideboard. The \u003cstrong\u003eR810\u003c\/strong\u003e is the flagship — 180W Class A\/B, 4.1 with an integrated long-throw subwoofer, roughly a metre wide, designed to \u003cem\u003ebe\u003c\/em\u003e the sideboard. Same streaming platform, same connectivity (plus more), but the R810 plays in a different sonic league and at a different price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Ruark R810 have a built-in subwoofer?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — a 200mm (8-inch) long-throw subwoofer is integrated into the cabinet in its own infinite-baffle enclosure, firing downward. Combined with the two NS+ mid-bass drivers, this creates a 4.1 system with genuinely extended low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the R810 use Class A\/B amplification instead of Class D?\u003c\/strong\u003e Most modern all-in-one systems use Class D for efficiency and compactness. Ruark went Class A\/B — five discrete channels, one per driver — for the warmer, more musical character audiophiles tend to prefer. It runs warm enough to need a proper heatsink, but the sonic payoff is what defines the R810 as a flagship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Ruark R810 work with Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, and Qobuz?\u003c\/strong\u003e All four. Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Qobuz Connect are built in for direct, full-quality playback. Apple Music streams via Apple AirPlay 2. Almost any other service streams via Google Cast or Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I connect a turntable to the Ruark R810?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — it has a built-in moving magnet (MM) phono stage with adjustable gain. Most turntables plug straight in without an external phono preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I connect a TV to the R810?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, via HDMI ARC \/ eARC. The R810 handles TV audio beautifully, with dialogue centred on screen and the integrated subwoofer adding physical impact for film. Pair with the optional \u003cstrong\u003eR810 AV Mount\u003c\/strong\u003e to install a TV above the radiogram as a single integrated console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Ruark R810 play CDs?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not natively. CD playback is handled by the optional \u003cstrong\u003eR-CD100\u003c\/strong\u003e CD player, which connects via the rear USB-C port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Ruark R810 multi-room compatible?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, via Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast. Pair it with the R410, R610, or any compatible AirPlay 2 \/ Chromecast speaker for synchronised whole-home audio. Voice control is also available via Google Nest Hub or any Google Assistant device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the R810 come with a stand?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — a polished chrome stand is included, which puts the R810 at roughly sideboard height (~50cm) as a freestanding piece of furniture. Supplied chrome runners\/feet also let you place it directly on an existing sideboard or media console if preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the Ruark R810?\u003c\/strong\u003e Roughly a metre wide. The cabinet alone is approximately 1000 × 152 × 400mm (W × H × D); with the included chrome stand it stands about 650mm tall. Total weight with the stand is around 30.7kg \/ 67.7lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finishes does the Ruark R810 come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fused Walnut veneer cabinet, or Soft Grey Lacquer cabinet — both paired with the same hand-crafted slatted wooden grille and polished chrome stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the box?\u003c\/strong\u003e The R810 cabinet, polished chrome stand (requires assembly), supplied chrome feet\/runners for sideboard placement, rechargeable Bluetooth remote, DAB\/FM aerial, power cable, and quick-start guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ruark Audio","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":43642411745457,"sku":"R810-FW","price":5999.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Soft Grey","offer_id":43642411778225,"sku":"R810-SG","price":5999.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0245\/7723\/files\/Ruark-R810-Front-Soft-Grey.jpg?v=1712115143","url":"https:\/\/audionation.ca\/products\/ruark-r810-high-fidelity-radiogram","provider":"Audionation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
