SEXY SPEAKER BOX For incredible sound with great looks, there’s the Geneva Sound Systems from Swiss company, Geneva Lab. Modern and sleek, the entire system, including all the speakers and controls, is packed into a single wooden cabinet with a gleaming lacquered finish that’s available in stylish black, red or white. With all the speakers in one place, you won’t be tripping over cables, and you’ll be enjoying a broader stereo image and a bigger sound ‘sweet spot’. The larger systems play FM radio, CDs and music off your iPod/iPhone (the smaller version excludes the CD player). Control panels and loading devices are secreted away – a trapdoor reveals the iPod/iPhone docking station, and CDs are inserted via a slot loader. These sound systems are simple, elegant and powerful.
