It’s been a while since the guys over at Geneva Labs wowed us with their stylish room-filling iPod stereo systems. Now, Geneva is back with an all-in-one home theater sound system that’s sure to look great in any high-end living space.

The GenevaSound Home Theater is a high output home theater sound system, built completely into a single piece of furniture. The system cranks out tons of volume thanks to a 7 channel, 700-watt digital amplifier and 7 speakers, including a booming 12-inch subwoofer. It’s available in a hand-lacquered black finish and also a glossy white version for those of you who manage to come up with one of those elusive white LCD or Plasma TVs.

Simply place your flat-panel TV on top of the cabinet and connect your video and audio sources. There’s plenty of room inside the cabinet for your satellite or cable receiver, video game console and disc players. And like Geneva’s previous sound systems, there’s a convenient iPod/iPhone dock built into the top of the cabinet. There’s also a slot loading CD player and an FM radio along if you care to kick it in old school.

While the GenevaSound is only a 2.1 system, it does offer acoustically-enhanced surround sound using something Geneva calls their EmbracingSound digital sound processor.

Priced at $3,999 (USD), including White Glove delivery and setup, the system isn’t for those on a tight budget, but if you’re looking for a serious piece of media furniture for your living room, you should definitely check it out.
