Description :
The Ruark Equinox loudspeaker are stoutly constructed of 25mm-thick MDF, multiple figure-8 braces, and heavy external wood dress panels, the Equinox is Ruark's all-out effort in small speakers. It is finished in a deep, rich walnut, and stood up smartly, with elegant chamfered edges on all external panels, including the stand and the grille frame.
The LF is a 165mm paper-cone driver supported by a pure rubber surround and driven by a 40mm voice-coil wound on a Kapton former and a large vented magnet assembly. The 25mm silk-dome HF driver has an aluminum voice-coil, ferrofluid damping, and vented magnet assembly in its own subenclosure. With the proper source components, the Equinox's tonal balance and bass extension were remarkable.
