I purchased the Arcam Solo approximately 5 weeks ago on the recommendation of my audio store. Its arrival resulted in great excitement and I was absolutely impressed by the form factor and the usability aspect of it. I connected my Linn Kans and let it run for weeks on end. I now consider it a wonderful unit that performs beautifully. I use it as a bedroom stereo in a room that is approximately 10 x 11 feet. It sounds great, with good detail and imaging, and it has increased my music listening enjoyment immensely. The Linn Kans are not tops on bass, and I think future improvement could be gained by using larger speakers, or perhaps a sub such as the Quad L or perhaps something from REL.
The point of all this is simply to encourage you to take the time to audition the Solo. Depending on your needs, it could be a perfect fit.
