Geneva Lab's Shiny New Media Center Has iPod Dock, Unsurprisingly

The guys over at Apartment Therapy Unplugged spotted a pretty sweet media center that'll be coming soon to a living room near you. Made by Geneva Lab, a company known for its high-end iPod speaker docks, the new cabinet system includes four midrange 5.5-inch speakers, two tweeters, a 12-inch subwoofer, a cabinet to hold A/V components, and (of course) a dock for everybody's favorite MP3 player. It's expected to hit stores in late Fall 2008, and will cost $3,500. More pics after the jump.

Experiencing Geneva's Rich-Sounding Model M iPod System, Plus Its Big Brothers L and XL

hook — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 22:00:00 EST

At a cocktail-fueled event at the chic furniture store Design Within Reach in NYC, I got to play around with Geneva's trio of wood-cabinet iPod-dockable sound systems: the Model M, Model L and Model XL. The recently announced $500 M is the most compact of the line, but still seemed a bit hefty compared with other iPod docks we've seen. (Maybe the company is leaving room for a Model S somewhere down the road.) The M's sleek Euro design and clean lines make it attractive, especially in glossy fire-engine red. Its seamlessly integrated CD player and under-grill LED display add to the smooth aesthetic. Compared with the Model L and the big, fat (expensive) Model XL, the M didn't have the same bass kick, but overall the sound was very rich and warm. [Geneva]

Geneva Model M Gives Your iPod Some Wood

Geneva has made a name for itself by building high-end iPod speaker docks with large wooden cabinets for better resonance and warmth. But the Model XL costs $1,275 and the Model L costs $699. Today, Geneva rolls out the Model M which, at $499, dips just below the "ridiculous" price point to something possibly within reach—assuming there's a rich uncle in your life. The 14"-wide wooden cabinet houses four speakers and a 100-watt digital amp, and has a slot-loading CD player and 3.5mm aux input too. Though the Model M sits on most tables, if you're feeling extra spendy you can get a floor stand for $120 more. [Geneva]
