After browsing about 6 web sites for the local high end audio/video stores around here. I came to the conclusion that there must be some law, if you do ultra high end A/V. Then you're web site has to be the worst designed peice of crap possible.

I'm looking at stores that sell $10,000 speakers, and the web site reminds me of something I use to see on Geocities 5 years ago, rediclious.


animated gifs and poorly used tables, with images that have background that don't match the web sites background don't scream "high end" to me :)

THey're too good for the internet. They're too good for computers. THey're too for you. That's the feeling I always got from those places anyways. Go in there and mention any brand they don't carry, it must be garbage. Fie on them all. FIE.

They're just passing the savings on to you, the consumer. That, and the back of the truck showroom.

Hey, it takes alot of time and effort to make hyper platinum plated copper cables with 0.01" strands that in a double blind tests are undecernable from flat ribbon cable that costs $0.10/foot. They can't go around making webpages!
