ARCAM have a formidable reputation for all things audio-visual, indeed it's a richly deserved reputation. 'Lifestlye' systems however require the manufacturer to engage in a complex balancing act of price, looks, physical dimensions and of course performance. Needless to say, many attempts end in overpriced, ugly or sonically inferior products. With Solo, Arcam have pulled off the seemingly impossible in squeezing what are essentially hifi-separate quality components into the Solo's gorgeous, compact and styish exterior. The Solo features 50 'proper' Watts of audiophile amplification quality mated with a top class CD and DAB tuner. The Arcam Solo really is something to be admired, in addition to being an awesome product it's also a testament to the fact that a British company can still outmanoeuvre the competion and produce a product as fascinatlingly complete and well rounded as the Arcam Solo.
