Anybody got any thoughts or comments they'd like to share? I'm sure Amie, et. al. would be interested in what you think.

I've done a good amount of web design over the years, so while I have no formal training or real authority on the matter, I do have strong preferences 
I've liked Axiomaudio.com's straightforward header and footer and I'm glad they haven't changed. They are clean and simple and should stay that way.
I like the new, lighter shade of blue. It feels fresher. I would make the link text color lighter to match, though.
I'm not, however, a fan of the drop-shadows on the text within the light blue. I really just don't like drop-shadowed text in general.
I also feel like the "Learn All About Sound" section on the front page should be part of the Axiom Audiofile section, since it is really just the Axiom Audiofile archives. The front page just seems too cluttered with too little emphasis placed on the products/store.
That being said, I still like Axiomaudio.com far more than I dislike it. I realize that Axiom is a speaker company, not a web design company.

the site doesnt have all the flash and artwork of most sites, and i like that. sometimes i think companies that fancy up their websites, are not focusing on their products. almost like thay are trying to shift my attention. i feel, if you have a good, solid product, then you dont need over the top eye candy to sell it..
plus, the low graphics makes it much easier to 'hide' while trying to post while at work.. i know i aint the only one, so dont you even be lookin at me like that!!

Like the new homepage. Good concept to emphasize the positive reviews Axiom continually receives as that's what it's all about.

What Furrer,
It shouldn't matter what browser/OS you use since the drop shadows are on text within images such as this one:
