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

The Solo is the tuner, CD, amp and pre for about 1500, isn't it? Even if it's not great audio, I think it would be difficult to do better for the money as people are claiming. Unless they'd like to make suggestions.

Now, saying you can go to audiogon/used is kind of a cheat, comparing new to used. Maybe you could wait a bit and get a used Solo to even out the equation. Or maybe you could buy a used Magnelab receiver and compare that to the new Solo....
