This sale is for my Arcam Muso Bookshelf HiFi Surround Speakers. They were part of my Arcam Solo system, which I no longer have. The speakers are in perfect operational condition but do have a couple of marks on the casings as can be seen in the pictures. Drivers are perfect. The price includes postage. Thanks for looking.

This auction is for an Arcam Solo Neo All-In-One CD player; FM; DAB and Internet Radio USB playback 50W 2 Channel Stereo Receiver. These seem to be relatively rare. Only one is listed from Australia that I could find on eBay. This is compatible with US electrical systems. There are multiple inputs: Tape Loop; Game; Ipod; USB; Ethernet and Pre Out and Zone 1 outputs. The player is in excellent condition. The remote, power cord and the manual are included. I do not have the antenna for Internet radio playback. It has been used consistently and sounds great. There is a scratch on the remote. What Hi-Fi? Review: The original Solo was introduced back in 2004 and was a great success for Arcam. It created a whole new market for the brand and for many years remained the all-in-one music system to beat. This upgraded Neo version doesnt mess too much with the originals recipe. The outward appearance hasnt changed; instead, the new model expands the feature count while taking performance up a notch too.The biggest change on the features front is a newly gained ability to play music files from a USB stick or streamed over a computer network, wired or wireless. The unit will play WAV, MP3, AAC, WMA and FLAC files, so should be compatible with most peoples music collections. Itll handle files streamed up to 48kHz/24bit.New media and old favourites. Internet radio and DAB+ compatibility is added alongside FM and DAB. Compact disc fans need not worry, a CD drive is still included. The Solo Neo has a great tuner section. With DAB (no DAB+ transmissions in the UK at the moment) it sounds smooth and listenable, totally avoiding the thin, bright and hard quality we hear from most DAB products. Listen to FM and the good news continues with full-bodied smoothness and expressive dynamics, though youll need a decent signal for hiss-free results. We cant recommend a good-quality external aerial too highly if FM performance is a priority. Only Internet radio gives rise to some concern, but here the innate poor quality of the broadcasts are to blame rather than the Arcam. Switch to CD and the performance is impressive. Its clear and detailed producing good results with everything from Lady Gagas Poker Face to a 1959 mono recording of Tchaikovskys Symphony No.4.The Neo sounds more neutral than the original Solo, and delivers greater agility, punch and dynamic expression than before.The original may have sounded cosier, but the new version is more capable. Its a fine cut-price alternative to Naims mighty Uniti. This is a fully loaded all-in-one receivers in low-rider chassis. Im thinking NAD Viso Two or Naim Uniti. They promise listening satisfaction on a higher octave with most conceivable sources a modern mensch might own. They take up a single shelf in a normal rack and due to minimal wiring —just power cords and speaker cables—are ready to rock in just a few minutes after escaping the carton. The Solo Neo starts where the 2004 Music left off. It expands on its integrated amp, tuner section and CD player packaging job with up-to-date network features. Today’s flat fella connects to PC or Mac via WLAN or Ethernet/LAN or external drives of a home network; and tunes into thousands of Internet radio station which—this is experience speaking—-really develops a habit. For quickie snacks the receiver also handles USB sticks. airwave hunters, Arcam upgraded the tuner section to DAB while disc spinners get a 24-bit Wolfson DAC. But there’s more. Arcam claims a comprehensive overhaul of shorter signal paths and better shielding of discrete modules. The resultant sonic superiority buried the Music to make the Neo its replacement. A smart receiver thats no brute: As per specs, the output stage delivers 50wpc into 8 ohms, making Neo no power monster but still capable of filling rooms even on the other side of 30 square meters. This of course becomes easier when chosen speakers aren’t miserly on sensitivity. My since discontinued Magnat Quantum 905 tower and Nubert nuVero 14 had no issues pressurizing my space with juicy bass and plenty of detailed nuance. Those hankering for more can tap into the Neo’s pre-out to connect to an outboard amp or subwoofer. There’s even a second pre-out to establish a second zone with its own volume control. Playback source always mirrors the main room however. Shipping will be $50.00. No international bidders, please.
