From Switzerland, GenevaSound is “furniture music” – a renewed fusion of home entertainment and home décor that brings technology and design full circle. Visually, Geneva is a classic design statement. But beyond its striking simplicity, Geneva’s clean lines embody an advanced acoustical array that’s won the highest marks from leading audio reviewers. One look at GenevaSound reveals why it’s sold in leading design and fashion houses from Milan to Manhattan. Listen to Geneva Sound and you’ll know why its patented audio engineering is found in recording studios that repeatedly win Grammies and Oscars. Never before have such a variety of functions been integrated into one compact cabinet - a complete, powerful hifi system with a slot-loading CD player, an iPod-iPhone dock, a radio tuner with digital presets, and line-in jacks. Leading reviewers say it's the easiest multi-function stereo ever. Geneva Sound Large delivers room-filling sound, thanks to the power of its four 25 watt amplifiers, for a total of 100 watts of Class D amplification, a new generation of extremely efficient, low-power-consumption amplifiers. On the top of the GenevaSound Large is a slot-loading CD player. Ahead of the CD slot is the 30-pin iPod+iPhone connector hidden under a flip-up lid. Embedded in the GenevaSound cabinet is a digital radio tuner; no tabletop radio has ever sounded this big before. Setting your favorite stations as a present in the remote control has never been easier. GenevaSound Large also has auxiliary line-in connections - 3.5 mm and also RCA. These can bring in sound from almost any audio device. The cabinet measures: height 11.5 inches, depth 14.2 inches, width 17.6 inches. It weighs 38 pounds. This model comes with brushed aluminum feet with rubberized footpads. There are optional floor pedestals. The GenevaSound Large Gloss is available in three colors: white, red and black gloss lacquer.

User Reviews about GenevaSound All-in-One Stereo for CD - iPod - iPhone - Radio - Line-in (Large-Red)

I've had my red Geneva Sound unit for nearly 2 years now and am still in love with it. It is versatile enough to deliver sound from my blu ray player, docks my iTouch and can hook up to any Mp3 player. The Sound quality is on par with the better Bose SoundDocks. For me though top marks for the aesthetics. It's just beautiful. -- Incomparable aesthetics, exceptional sound quality.......

I am a professional musician and music producer who demands excellence in sound reproduction. I own two Geneva sound systems - an L for home and an M for my office. The L replaced my home stereo about a year and a half ago. I'm extremely happy with the purchase. At high or low volumes (high when my wife is out of the house) the sound reproduction is outstanding. I use all the functions (CD player, ipod dock and FM radio) on a daily basis. Fantastic design and ease of use. -- The Geneva L is Outstanding

I stumbled upon Geneva Sound's consumer products early-on; a local electronics store just happened to be one of the very first authorized dealers in the US. I was instantaneously smitten after hearing a Model "L", and purchased one on the spot. It has since been relegated to the bedroom, as I ordered an XL less than 6 months later.

The idea of purchasing a "quality" product at a "reasonable" price does have a certain appeal, and I give, to those of you who are on a limited budget, my utmost assurance that I, too, can relate (trust me, I've been there and done that for more years than I care to remember). But...

There is, in addition to death and taxes, one other sure thing in life: the simple fact that there is NO SUCH THING as a free lunch. A fact that you'll soon discover when it comes time to set up your spiffy new multi-speaker surround sound system in a private dwelling that wasn't designed to accommodate a wide-screen TV connected to 3-6 (or more) specialized components, a subwoofer, and 4-6 speakers, along with concomitant speaker wiring (measured by the yard). Of course, you'll probably need to rearrange, or even reduce in number, some of those frivolous non-essentials like furniture! Oh, and did I mention all those pesky hot-air registers, oddly-placed doorways, etc.? So much for proper speaker placement and "sweet spots".

Hope you naysayers like home projects. And if your employer suddenly decides to relocate 2 months from now, it may be some time before you actually HEAR your new system (moving being another wonderful endeavor I've endured more than once)!

Maybe I'm just a misfit who marches to the beat of a different drummer, but I do think that time and living space are also worthy of inclusion in the purchasing-decision matrix. As far as I'm concerned, I'd cheerfully, uncomplainingly lay down as much as an extra "G" note on a system like this long before I'd consider returning to the audiophile purgatory of wire-entangled, multi-component "entertainment" systems (oh, the pleasure I derived just from DUSTING all that junk!). Given the resolution and clarity of Geneva's products, it's not as though sound quality is being sacrificed; not to MY ears, anyway (and I'm not totally deaf yet, in spite of my best efforts). Anyone who desires to torment the neighbors with better bass response might wish to consider upgrading to the XL, which offers two 8" subwoofers and 600 watts. Sure, it's even more "pricey", but why should cost be an obstacle when it comes to upending mobile homes? It didn't deter ME!

Seriously, though: if you already own a GenevaSound "L" model, you might want to consider proper placement. For best results, position the unit close to a wall (about 6"), at a point roughly equa-distant to the room's corners (ie., right in the middle, if possible). You should also try to move any furniture or other substantial objects that may be sitting to the unit's left or right as far away as you can. You'll get more depth. Unfortunately, this little trick is not mentioned the instruction manual, although I think you'll find it in the pedestal assembly instructions. When I repositioned it accordingly, it actually sounded BETTER than it did in-store. In any case, it's easier to position one box than it is to position many of them. At least it seems to be that way in my universe.

the Geneva design is awesome. Really nice finishing, painting and good quality metal. Sound is ok. Disappointed with the bass level (for sure could be better, heavier and stronger) and lack of line out to connect additional wireless speakers for other rooms. -- design ok, disappointed with the bass

For a lot of money, you get a very sleek, and powerful stereo. The sound is amazing, and the stereo looks great. Did I mention it's expensive? -- So much fun
