It's really irritating when I want to browse a speaker makers offerings, but instead of organizing them by features, or performance, or application, they give you ten different fancy line up names that mean absolutely nothing to the end user, so instead you have to go through and click each and every style to see what the hell is so special about it and how it might be the what I'm looking for.

I also agree. It would also be nice though if the line up names made sense.

It's like looking at paradigm's website. I know I am looking for the studio 20s, but I have to go through all these series lines just to find what I need. And def tech. Ugh. Not much better. And forget it if you have to find anything that is a Core Brand.

This is an excellent criticism, and it shows a website that has been designed with the manufacturer in mind, not with the client in mind. Want to see a GREAT website, probably the ultimate, in terms of getting info to the client and handling the sale? It's freakin' AMAZON!!!

You guys would be amused, and would learn definite reasons why you hate some sites and love others, if you spent some time at www.websitesthatsuck.com. Their motto is "learn good web design by looking at bad web design." There are two checklists of things sites should have and should not have, and you will recognize things that have stood in your way. As you can imagine, I have written to some manufacturers to ask them why they have put roadblocks in the way of me throwing money at them!
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Triad does it like this, and there is a 2 page thread awhile back bitching about Triads naming conventions over at IP.

Origin Acoustics seems to have designed their website with that in mind, it is very easy to navigate. I hope product becomes available soon.

Hopefully they didnt categorize them with ONLY that variable lol. We need MULTIPLE cross referencing abilities.

Definitive technology?
I think its one of the most organized sites out there....its organized into categories and you can find whatever you want to in a couple of clicks.
