Product Description
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. 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. 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 a line-in jack. Leading reviewers say it's the easiest multi-function stereo ever. GenevaSound XL can fill a dance hall with music, thanks to the power of its six 100 watt amplifiers, for a total of 600 watts of Class D amplifiers, a new generation of extremely efficient, low-power-consumption amplifiers. On the top of the GenevaSound XL is a slot-loading CD player. Behind the CD slot is the 30-pin iPod+iPhone connector. 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 XL also has 2 auxiliary line-in connections, 3.5 mm and RCA, connecting to almost any audio device. The cabinet measures: height 24.1 inches, depth 14.5 inches, width 21.7 inches. It weighs 84 pounds. This model comes with brushed aluminum feet with rubberized footpads. The GenevaSound XL is available in three colors: white, red and black gloss.

Reference quality sound in one beautiful box. Just plug and play.
By Annalee Sharpe
I have bought many products through Amazon and yet this is the first time I have felt the urge to leave a review.If you are looking for natural studio reference quality sound reproduction with style and simplicity, you have now found it.True stereo sound from one beautifully designed enclosure and no wires!One remote control handles all functions.This unit plays CDs, I-Pods and I-Phones and will accept connection to all other manner of inputs. The only drawback is that the built in FM radio antenna does not receive strong stereo signals but why bother when you can play any world radio station through an I-Phone with a wi-fi connection and charge your phone at the same time. I have not switched on my expensive high-end music system since buying the Genevasound. The speaker enclosures are a wonder to hear and also look great.Very highly recommended.

Big Red!!
By Ambassador
OK, I'll admit my wife was not ecstatic when my sixteen-year-old son and I appeared at the door with this amazing stereo.We spoke quality, she saw red. We spoke piece of art, she saw red. We spoke sound, she saw red. When she heard it play she admitted it was the best stereo system we had ever owned, but ... "did it have to be red?" Our answer, "yes." This color announces that there is something special in the room and I can assure you that the Geneva XL gets noticed. Every single guest is drawn to it and insists on both seeing and hearing it in action. The XL does not disappoint. Everything is sexy and sleek, and simplicity reigns supreme. There are no clunky controls or panel of unnecessary knobs, just a stylish remote control that provides everything you need. The Geneva's sound is rich beyond expectation and crystal clear, no matter what the volume. At its peak, while the floors may throb, there is never distortion.We would definitely buy another one. We have heard that the Geneva XL is also available in white and black. If so, please don't tell my wife. She would see red.

Geneva soound XL RED
By Dr Jason David Page
I bought this unit in Canada in 2006 for $1000-ah inflation! I have to say the sound quality is stunning and the Ipod playback is amazing sound quality for movies is also good although limited by the stereo in put as oppossed to a scarp plug- I don't know if this has been changed in later models.Concerning problems- my CD player broke- would input and play a CD but NOT eject it and make an awful clicking sound sent the unit to BAY BLOOR RADIO who I saw had one in there window (note I bought this unit direct from Geneva and not from Bay/Bloor originally) and it was fixed and returned for $300 in 4 weeks which I thought was pretty amazing- since then I have had NO problems with the unit and it is used everyday easily for 1-2 hours. From what I have read on these websites it seems that customer service with Geneva is not the greatest in terms of returning the unit/ getting it fixed ifyou end up with problems but the unit itself is amazing (yes the remote is a little hickey because its infa red and you have to be in direct line of sight- you can't bounce a signal off the walls like you can with the newer remotes so a large or odd shaped home can cause problems) BUT for a sound system that is amazing and stunning (and for the price) this unit can't be beat!Also the red lacquer is great- a friend has a black XL- looks like a b;ack hole and white just seems a little dull to me- come on be different- get the RED one 11 ;-)
