I must admit, speakers really kind of bore me. Not to say I don’t appreciate great sound, but I’m not one to enjoy listening to over ten types of good speakers only to try my hardest to find the slightest differences. Instead I tend to go by looks, so what if that might be a little shallow? But with Gramophone’s selection of the only best quality products, I think we’re all entitled to shop purely on style.

So why did I pick the Geneva? Mainly that it’s perfect for my college lifestyle being that it’s a portable single unit, with one, yes one, cord. The model S, for small, is hardly a compromise on sound and features. Outfitted with an iPod dock, twin speakers, and an amplifier, the Model S is no ordinary gadget. The ultra-sensitive TouchLight menu operates the Model S with just a few taps of your finger. You would never know that the petite modern box with a sleek glossed finish would have high-tech hidden touch controls and excellent sound quality to boot. 

The Model S by Geneva is a small but mighty device. Academy Award winning sound designer Per Hallberg speaks of the impressive full range audio capabilities of the Geneva Model S: “It pretty much blew me away,” he said. 

Geneva also prides itself on making their pieces part of your design and acting like furniture. Each speaker system is encased in wood cabinetry made by hand, sanded by hand, hand lacquered, hand buffed, and hand polished, available in a variety of chic modern colors. Each piece takes one full week to complete so I know the Geneva is made to perfection.

Think you could be sold? How about this - the Geneva Model S is only $299.
