Sister's wants music system without the hassles!

Treebeard, the Halo is excellent there is another even more integrated solution.

The Micromega M100 $4,500.00 is about the most perfect product you could ask for:

1: 100 watt high current class A/B amplifier
2: Fantastic built in Dac
3: Fantastic built in Phono stage
4: Built in streamer
5: Decent control app
6: Optional room correction module.

The Micromega sounds amazing, one of the best sounding integrated amplifiers on our floor, we sell Naim, Parasound Halo, NAD, Anthem, Electrocompaniet and a few others. 

The Micromega sounds quite a bit better than the Halo, and you have one excellent slim and elegant product, you won't have to have any external streamer either. 

The other option is the new Nad C 368 or the C 388, these are quite surprising, Good amp, streaming card with Blue Sound, and a built in phono.

Even for an analog girl the ability to stream digital is a big plus.

AKG a solo is okay sounding it is a lovely product there are better choices

An April music Aura note is way better with much more power 125 per channel for the Red Rose. 

We have a demo v2 $1500 plus phono

As per sound the old Solo was what we were talking about! This new Solo actually looks promising and it may be quite good.

Most Arcam dealers sell their surround sound products. 

Arcam is currently launching new products and has been purchased by Samsung so there is a lot of turmoil with the line.

Jc actually we have no issues or problems getting Arcam.

The solo was never a popular Arcam product with most dealers. 

The new Solo is almost unknown in the US and is not as popular as the Naim products.
