“Silver and gold, silver and gold, everyone wishes for silver and gold.” So sang that old snowman fellow in that one Christmas puppet cartoon. The TechTell family, in conjunction with the good folks at Geneva Lab, would like to grant that wish to one of you this holiday season via our Geneva Sound System Model S giveaway.
Amongst its numerous features, the Geneva Sound System Model S (which is valued at $299.95) includes an iPod/iPhone universal dock. Sadly, no iPhone 5 or iPod touch 5th gen support directly, but you can likely address that issue with a third-party wireless adapter or Lightning to 30-pin adapter.
Anyway…
The Geneva Sound System Model S offers superb musical fidelity and the most versatility in its class. It introduces innovations that make Hi-Fi easier and more eye-pleasing: TouchLight controls, a PowerDock connector for iPod/iPhone, and a digital clock radio. TouchLights brighten on contact, giving extensive iPod menu control no competitor provides. When the iPod/iPhone is removed the motorized PowerDock spins closed to protect it.
With its patented technology for true stereo imaging, wide frequency range, and exceptional audio qualities, many around the world have given the Model S the highest marks in its class. Winner of the 2010 I.D. International Design Magazine Consumer Products Award, the Model S comes with an optional table stand and a remote control.
Sounds pretty sweet, eh? And along with all of that, we’re giving away the limited edition gold version. How very festive!
Full tech specs are available at the Geneva Lab website, but you can rest assured they justify the $299.95 prize value.
To enter, first read the Tell + Geneva Sound System Model S Giveaway Official Rules. Then, simply comment below to tell us what holiday song you’ll never play through them. There are some absolutely fantastic songs for the holiday season, but we want to know which ones are the worst. For me, it’s Barbara Streisand’s spastic version of “Jingle Bells,” but I’m not eligible to win, sadly.
Good luck, and happy holidays!
[Update: We forgot to include the cut-off the date! The last day for entries will be Sunday, December 9th.]
[Update: Removed link to wireless adapter, which is no longer being offered by Geneva.]
None of Barbara Streisand’s holiday music will play through this!
Honorable Mention By Ella Fitzgerald
OMG No!
Barbra Streisand – Jingle Bells
I’d never play frosty the snowman.
Frankly, my dear, I do give a damn. Come to papa, Geneva!
Cyndi Lauper’s Christmas Conga. Do I need to say anymore?
“I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” is THE most annoying Christmas song.
“Grandma got run over by a reindeer”, will never be played on my Geneva sound system model s.
I saw momma kissing Santa clause or grandma got run over by a reindeer. Seriously folks. Need i say more.
If I hear Grandma Got runover one more time I may not be able to control the inner beast.
That’s tough. I like most music. Let’s go with Randy Brooks “Granda Got Run Over By a Reindeer”
One song for sure that wont grace those speakers is Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey by Lou Monte. Heehaww!
Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives
I will never play “Witch doctor” by Alvin and the chipmunks.
Any Christmas song sung by Celine Dion. I have this irrational dislike of her ^_^
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
Any holiday muzak will NOT be played MY Geneva Sound system!
In Harmony by Carly Simon
Any Christmas music by a pop boy band, I.e. backstreet boy, nync. Yeah, I’m older.
Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Absolutely no Chipmunks! And a solid second to Justin Berbers mistletoe-y garbage !
I will never play “the christmas shoes” through this beautiful piece of equipment
Jackson 5′s Christmas music
I would really like to never hear “Christmas Shoes” by NewSong again as it is a completely depressing song during such a great time of the year.
No Christmas music would ever be played on this device. Random musicians looking for an easy pay check aren’t welcome at Christmas or any other time of year.
Last Christmas : Wham !
Do they know it’s Christmas by Band Aid. Ugh. I came across this song accidentally and it was horrifying.
I won’t play: “Grandma got run over by a reindeer”, on my new Geneva.
“All I want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey. If I have to hear what Mariah Carey wants for Christmas one more time I may just go insane! The woman is good looking but the song is god awful!!! I really wouldn’t even care if she was singing the song to me! During the holiday season whenever I’m in a retail store and this song comes on I drop everything and head for the doors as fast as I can!!! This song will never flow through the speakers of MY GENEVA!
Santa Baby, by Madonna (or anyone else!)
I wouldn’t play ” Grandma got run over by a reindeer”, don’t like it.
Christmas Karaoke shall not emit from my Geneva.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Last Christmas, by WHAM!
Absolutely no Kenny G Christmas songs, especially “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” would ever taint the audio circuitry of this beautiful device.
Christmas polka by Jim Reeves males you wanna cry! http://open.spotify.com/track/0945UpMeCR5Kaf2FqA1Zim
I hate grandma got run over by a reindeer!
Definitely not: Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
“Christmas Don’t Be Late” by the Chipmunks
This song was awesome. When I was 6…
Leroy The Redneck Reindeer by Joe Diffie would never play on my Geneva Sound System Model S
I will be avoiding all chipmunks, GGROBaR, and anything else that exists in Cartoon form. Mannheim Steamroller and classic rock all the way!
It’s easier to flip this- the ONLY holiday music I’ll play is Vince Guaraldi (the Charlie Brown theme music).
I will play my good Music on this wonderful system!
I hate the chipmunks ” Christmas Christmas time is here” song uuuuuuuuugggghhhh it drives me crazy
The dogs barking Jingle Bells shall never be played through my Geneva Sound System Model S!
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas – Whenever I hear that stupid song, blood shoots out of my eyes!!!!!
A holiday song that will never be heard by my ears again is- New Kids on the Block, “Funky, Funky Xmas.” This song was ever so awful!
El Burrito de Belén… Spanish Xmas song. Very annoying. Check it out if you don’t believe me.
I agree..no Barbara Streisand Jingle Bell’s for me
I too solemnly promise never to play the dogs barking Jingle Bells.
Last Christmas by Wham
I promise not to play Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.
Dominic the Donkey. NEVER.
