Arcam Solo Any thoughts

Was not sure where to post this question but thought I would start in misc. Im trying to put together a fairly low cost second system and thought the Arcam Solo might be a good place to start. Anyone have experience with this piece? i really like the idea of CD, amp and pre all in one. I am limited on space. Also what speakers and speaker cable are good match? Trying to put together whole system for around $2,500.00

Thanks
