How big is the room, where are the speakers placed and how far from listening position? Reason for asking is when your dealing with these kind of systems and of course the desire for a small foot print & slick look, choosing which speaker will be easier once the questions are answered to narrow down the choices. This category of $400 speakers is quite large but a lot of them will not be the proper ones.
I second the Minuets but I do not like the quality of the finish. The Totems look great but can come across as forward and a bit bright when paired with the wrong equipment so it would be best to make sure they are auditioned first, The Usher 520 is another good possibility, so is the John Blue JB3 but that is going a different direction. A used pair of the Quad 11 looks very nice with good reviews. There are many choices but figuring out how there being used and with what equipment will matter.
Have you looked into finding a used Linn Music Classik? They're quite small, easy to use, sound good and can be bought used for a good price.
Surprisingly the Denon M37 is getting very good reviews and could be a good choice but it's a way different pedigree to the Arcam Solo.
