  It supports a comprehensive spread of streaming services and has a decent internet radio installation too. 24-bit/96kHz playback is possible but only via AAC. Other formats are only supported up to 48kHz while AIFF isn’t at all. The control app is stable but devotes a significant amount of space to showing art, compressing the search and browse options into a small area of the screen. The more traditional functions are better, though. The CD mechanism is silent and quick, the radio is logical to setup and use, and operation is simple thanks to the remote and physical controls on the top of the unit. Unlike a few designs at this price, it’s possible to operate the R3 for many functions without recourse to the app. The Ruark manages to balance some traditional design elements and colours with enough modern flourishes to not feel overtly retro. In the walnut finish it’s a very good looking device. Of particular note is the display. It’s clear, easy to read at a distance and can show a reasonable amount of information about what it’s doing. The build quality is extremely good and the R3 goes a long way to feeling it’s worth the asking price. Sound quality The performance is dominated by some of the software options available. It ships with both the loudness and the ‘3D Audio’ functions activated and, in contrast to my usual thoughts in this direction, they are worth leaving on. The 3D Audio in particular is genuinely impressive in use. The Ruark does a better job of creating the illusion of a truly stereo image than almost any other one-box speaker I’ve tested. Without any overt sense of processing, it does a fine job of pushing audio out to the left and right without creating a gap in the middle. Peter Gabriel’s Athens concert on the remastered version of So feels convincing as a reproduction of a genuinely live event as a result. The loudness function is more overt in its effect, but helps to fill out the low end without it sounding bloated or overblown. A spirited rendition of Stereo MC’s Deep Down And Dirty has bass that is palpable and weighty, but it integrates well with the upper frequencies and doesn’t affect the speed and drive of the music as a whole. This is a consistently engaging performer with a decent grasp on timing and flow across a wide selection of time signatures. The use of Class AB amplification and a single 75mm full-range driver each side results in a speaker that feels extremely cohesive in use. It is also a fantastic radio. Spoken word material on the high-quality stream of Radio 4 is a model of clarity. Even at fairly low levels, the R3 ensures that presenters are clear and easy to follow and it’s extremely easy to listen to for long periods. This ties into a generally forgiving presentation with compressed material, while the most satisfying means of listening to music is Spotify because it avoids the somewhat compromised experience offered by Ruark’s own app. Conclusion The app is something of a blot on an otherwise rather impressive device. The R3 manages to take a compact and elegant chassis, pack some impressive functionality into it and then go on to deliver some of the best sound I’ve heard from a sub-£1,000 one-box offering. If you are adding it to a house of devices that make heavy use of streaming, it might feel a little limited. If you intend to use the network functionality as a boost to its excellent core functionality, the R3 is well worth seeking out.

  Enhance your sound experience as well as the room décor with a panoramic sonic landscape. The Elac Debut 2.0 C5.2 is aimed to provide a life-sized impression by providing the best centre channel as good as the front-channel speakers. The efficient soundstage of the new Debut C5.2 serves users with the best sound quality that makes music and movies come alive. The dual front ports will allow you to either hang speakers on the wall or keep it in the cabinet without affecting the bass frequencies. All specifications Speaker characteristics Frequency range 55 to 35,000 Hz Sensitivity 87 dB at 2.83 v/1m Impedance 8 Ω Crossover frequency 2,200 Hz The Debut 2.0 Center Channel Speaker. Paint a panoramic sonic landscape. To make a life-sized impression, a full-blown surround system needs a center channel just as formidable as the front-channel speakers. The new Debut 2.0 C5.2 paints a majestic soundstage that makes movies and music come alive. New dual front ports allow placement in cabinets or against the wall without compromising bass frequencies. New Tweeter with Wide-Dispersion Waveguide A new silk-dome tweeter features a wide-roll surround and takes response up to 35,000 Hz for even more lifelike high frequencies. The waveguide improves directivity control and eliminates the diffraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures. New Woven Aramid-Fiber Woofer The revised shape of the aramid cone offers even greater stiffness and damping, far superior to polypropylene or paper. The added strength allows more flexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended low-frequency response. New Cabinets with Easier Placement Thick MDF cabinets with a luxurious black ash vinyl finish are larger, and internally braced for greater stiffness and strength, greatly reducing cabinet vibrations which cause unwanted coloration. On the Bookshelf and Center Channel, moving the bass port to the front of the cabinet means placement against walls or in bookshelves won’t compromise performance. Optimized Center Speakers Recognizing that in a multi-channel system the majority of sound comes through the center speaker, we have optimized sensitivity and impedance to minimize the power requirement from the AV receiver, maximizing dynamic impact from lower cost receivers.
