From the review Geneva Sound Model S -- Genuinely Superb
"I enjoyed the Model S very much. When I took it out of the box I could feel the build quality, and the performance didn't disappoint. If you're at all concerned about sound quality — even in a "clock radio" — then I'd recommend the Model S. Even just sitting there it added to our room's ambiance!"

Its compact size and amazing sound performance makes it a very versatile system that can play all genres of music very well in any room; such as your living-room, dining-room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office, or den.

Dual Speakers: Underneath the front grill there are two independent speakers right next to each other, with separate acoustic chambers and separate 3" full-range drivers.
EmbracingSound: By using the patent pending "Embracing Sound" Technology, the stereo sweet spot is larger than in a conventional two-speaker setup.
Bass & Treble Control: You can independently adjust the unit's bass (100 Hz) and treble (6 kHz) from -6 to +6 dB.

iPod PowerDock: The Geneva Sound System Model S features an integrated, top-mounted iPod Universal Dock for iPod and iPhone. The integrated iPod dock is powered and disappears when not in use. When the iPod/iPhone is removed, the motorized PowerDock spins closed and the protruding iPod/iPhone 30-pin connector disappears into the cabinet, protecting it from damage and dust (press the mode button to open the dock). The Model S provides playback, control, and charging of your iPod/iPhone while docked. Your iPod or iPhone can be controlled with the included remote or with the unit's touch-sensitive buttons. The touch panel also offers a scroll wheel, so your connected iPod can be browsed similar to using the iPod's click-wheel.

Note: This unit does not offer iPod/iPhone information display. Your docked iPod or iPhone will remain fully functional so you can view your iPod or iPhone content from its own display screen. Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the device and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to revert to the older software version or wait until an newer software update is available.

Auxiliary Input: The unit features a rear-panel 3.5mm auxiliary input for connecting external audio sources, such as an MP3 player or your PC.

Note: If an iPod is docked and playing, the iPod sound and the auxiliary input's external audio will be mixed.

TouchLight Controls: The unit's TouchLight controls are invisible until a hand reaches for the cabinet.

Remote Control: The Geneva Sound System Model S includes an IR remote control for wireless operation of the unit. It will control all functions of the system, including iPod/iPhone control.

The alarm will use the latest source mode and audio setting (if the audio level is too low, an internal beep tone is activated). While the alarm is active, touch whatever key of the touch panel to "snooze" the alarm for ten minutes. To acknowledge the alarm push any key on the remote control. Without acknowledgement, the unit will automatically go to stand-by mode after playing for 20 minutes.

The table stand, allows you to elevate the system, so it takes up less space on a nightstand, a counter, or a desk.
