Arcam Solo Movie 5.1 player

Amazingly it's over two years since the original Arcam solo wowed hi-fi audiences, and now it hopes to do the same for movie fans.

Based on Arcam's renowned high-end AV & DVD components, the new Arcam Solo Movie 5.1 hopes to slim down the pile of boxes under the telly.

Although tech details are currently a little thin on the ground, first impressions indicate the Solo 5.1 will pack plenty of AV punch, with an internal 1080 video scaler, HDMI switching and universal disc playback.

The Arcam Solo Movie 5.1 won't hit the shelves until late February, but you'll be able to see the official launch at next month's Bristol Sound & Vision Show. Pricing is expected to be around £2,000.
