Some stereophiles want a sound system that looks like a computer from 1953. They want it to be so impressive, so catastrophically complicated, that you have to take six weeks’ worth of night classes to learn the ins and outs of setting an alarm. They have a record player, a disc changer, and a mini-disc and 8-track “just in case.”
For the rest of us, there’s the Geneva Model S Wireless.
A deceptively simple box, the Model S has large guts, with each of its two speakers individually chambered for better acoustics and amplification. The system can stream from any Bluetooth-capable device, or be attached to anything with a stereo jack. With touch controls, an alarm clock, and a brushed aluminum stand, it’s a grand combination of aesthetics and function, and for $299.95, it won’t put a huge dent in your music-buying budget.
