Ruark Audio MR1 MKII

Look: Small and simple – the only set of double speakers on our list. The “soft grey” pair are a bit clinical, but the rich “walnut” version are all class and elegance.
Controls: There’s a remote control – but disappointingly that only allows you to swap between the inputs, turn them on and off, and control the volume, and to pair – there’s no scope for pausing or playing the music.
Sound quality: Practically perfect. The closest you’re going to get to proper Hi-Fi speakers from a Bluetooth option – from the rich musical landscapes of Bombay Bicycle Club, to the blistering, bass heavy Run the Jewels, these speakers make everything sound good.
Battery life: NA – these plug into mains.
Portability: Not portable at all, given that they plug into the mains. They certainly can’t just be chucked in your bag, and they’re just too big to fit in a suitcase for anything that isn’t a long term trip to once place.
Waterproof? Not at all.
Connectivity: It’s a simple connection, and no dropouts. There’s also the option to connect up an aux – and you can switch to that playout using the control
Best Bit: The amazing sound.
Worst Bit: The price – it’s a hefty sum of money.
Bottom line: If you want a brilliant pair of desk speakers, and can afford to splash the cash, then absolutely go for these.
