Arcam Solo Mini

I have been thinking about the Arcam Solo as an easy family system that doesn't suck and has a small footprint. The new Mini takes that one or two steps further with the smaller form factor, USB connector on the front and the optional rDock for charging/playing/remote controlling the iPod. So, has anybody heard these yet, and does Todd have them in his Arcam line-up? Curious if Todd has heard the Solo with his Epos mini-monitors, but anybody else with similar Solo experience, please share.

I listened to it at Audiovision SF (Pine @ Van Ness). It's a nice little system, surprisingly capable for the size. I would have bought one if it weren't for its lack of SACD playback capability (I opted instead for a Nuforce IA7v2). Don't just take my word for it, stop by there since you live in SF.

I'm pretty sure I've heard the mini at Oz's shop. It's been a while but I recall it being a very capable unit. I considered one for my office. If Todd doesn't carry it, let me know and I will see what Oz will do in terms of price.

I left Todd a message and will follow up tomorrow. I have heard the Solo before at Audio Visions, majid, but I have not heard the Mini version yet.

I have a Solo and a pair of Triangle Cometes in the family room, and I am deliriously happy with the combination.

If you are thinking Solo Mini, NAD and Cambridge Audio have alternatives. Check them all out.

I got the Solo Mini and Epos speakers from Todd. Great little combo.

Well, Miguel, it only took me a month, but here are a couple lame pics of my rustic Arcam Solo Mini setup. I will see if I can take a couple more but being in front of a window doesn't help. It is so easy that everyone in the family can use it, and I highly recommend it for anyplace you need a small footprint but good sound (office, bedroom, family room, etc.). We can play CDs, radio, plug an iPod into the front or with a doc into the back, internet radio and Rhapsody through the SB3, and any music on any of the computers in the house, also through the SB3. Good stuff!

Very nice! One of these days I will get me an SB3, but first I need to set up a wireless network.

Another mini owner here, paired with some Quad 11l speakers, truly outstanding sound for an all in one box.
