“As Ruark Audio’s sole distributor in Malaysia, we are thrilled to be bringing in these incredible sound systems, each uniquely tailored with refined aesthetics and enhancements to sound and technology that are sure to impress music lovers and design aficionados alike,” said Mr. Soong Jan Hsung, Chief Executive Officer of VSTECS Group. “Ruark Audio brings us iconic sound systems of the future, beasts that roar warm, full-bodied notes of alluring sensuality to match the minimalist design of a modern home.”
R7 – THE RADIOGRAM REDEFINED
Before the advent of hi-fi systems in the 1970s, the radiogram – a radio and record player combined into one – was the desired music system of choice. It was often made of polished wood to match the furniture of its time. The R7 carries on the radiogram’s legacy of providing a wide variety of connectivity options, while also doubling up as a beautiful piece of modern furniture for the home.
Powered by two Ruark Audio dual concentric drivers together with a downward firing subwoofer, together with a well-integrated class A-B amplifier, the versatile R7 makes the listening experience more realistic and enjoyable. This adaptable system provides access to a vast range of music choices from radio stations to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming. True to its radiogram spirit, it also contains a slot-loading CD player for CD enthusiasts. The R7 can be easily operated with Ruark’s trademark Rotodial remote, which does not need to be aimed at the system to control it.
The R7 was designed to be a timeless statement piece in a room, with its exquisite hand- crafted wood cabinet, contemporary acoustic fabric and clear glass front panel.

R5 – THE ALL-IN-ONE MUSIC SYSTEM FOR THE HOME
The R5 makes a stylish addition to any contemporary home with its curvaceous hand- crafted cabinet, tactile fabric grille and sleek metal components.
It’s benchmark for creation was Ruark’s very own R7. Ruark has scaled down its own flagship model in all but sound to create a system which is simply pioneering. A class A-B amplifier and two Ruark Audio full range drivers together with a downward firing subwoofer, sits comfortably in an optimally damped and tuned cabinet to produce a stereo soundstage with sonics akin to a larger system with separate speakers.
When it comes to playback, the R5 has virtually every option covered, ranging from Wi-Fi streaming and Bluetooth to CD playback and even a dedicated RIAA turntable input. It also comes with Ruark’s RotoDial controller for easy control.

R3’s combination of tactile and luxurious materials sees the continuation of Ruark’s signature and eye-catching design language. It exudes quality and premium craftsmanship, from the curvaceous form of the hand-crafted cabinet to the coolness of the glass display, the warmth of the woven fabric grille to our trademark RotoDial controller.
This superbly versatile and compact one-box wonder offers comprehensive listening options for every music fan. Stream songs from your favorite music services such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Amazon Music and Deezer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth aptX, access its Smart Radio functionality to tune into internet, DAB/DAB+ or FM stations, or spin a CD using the onboard player.

Overall, I really enjoyed the sound that's coming out from Ruark Audio sound system. It looks elegant with the walnut texture that can suit your audio room and cozy house. The sounds doesn't seems come straight to you but goes around the surrounding. If I have a bigger space and new corner in house, I would definitely get the Ruark Audio R7 and R3.
For now, I think Ruark Audio's MR1 and MRX suits my working table and living room.
On a side note, The Colony Coworking Space at Star Boulevard looks pretty elegant with the New York inspired interior design. There's a Define Food Restaurant right within. If you want to pay a visit to The Colony Star Boulevard, park near Block 5 as that's the main entrance for visitors.
