Abstract: Throughout my time spent with the Geneva, every person who saw the system invariably asked about it. When I explained all the functions and demonstrated it to my brother, he said, “I need one of those.” Other friends who own Bose SoundDocks and think t...

All-in-one home stereo with iPod dock, CD player, and FM radio; large, plastic-free, furniture grade wood cabinet with high gloss paint finish; two line inputs; bass and treble controls; better than average stereo separation; full-size remote control.
Its very big (about the size of a microwave); extremely expensive; no digital inputs.

Easy to set up and use, Complete stereo system—iPod, CD, and FM—in a single unit, Outstanding fit and finish: exceptional sound quality for a one-piece system, Attractive design,
Little low bass extension, Remote performance could be better, Stand is a $99 option, Stereo imaging good enough to use for TV and DVDs, but size/design makes such use difficult
Abstract: The sound from the Model L is sweet yet incredibly powerful, with a notably grown-up and old-school gramophone-like quality. In spite of proprietary DSP technology, which is designed to widen the audio, the distinction the L provides is, for me, a little ...
