Yet another speaker site that makes it near impossible to find pricing at a glance. I find that immensely frustrating.

"At a glance"? I couldn't find pricing even after a thorough search of the site. Neither could I find any info on their "top-o-the-line" speakers. Just pictures. What's the deal?

Try to find any spec info on their speakers. Alot of that information is missing as well. I did say that their 'customer service' is rather negligible.
The Inner Ear Report has some listed MSRP of various Angstroms they have reviewed. A total 5.1 Angstrom Modular system would have cost me about $2500-2700 Cdn. My present Axiom system was $3400 after taxes.

Any company with a website that lacks so much information doesn't get my money. It's just stupid!

Well Ken now you see a part of my own reasoning as to why the Axioms won the speaker decision battle a year ago.
Cost isn't everything be it higher or lower in value. A company's service record with customers goes a REALLY long way in securing sales. Axiom customer service and access to information is outstanding, more than any other company i've yet dealt with in my lifetime.

Well, I'd make an exception in one case: Magnepan. But everyone knows that I'm a freak for those things. And their website is slightly better than the one referenced in this thread.

You want to see a truly awful site for speaker info?
Try to find ANY speakers whatsoever (aside from their 'wallpaper' pics) at Sonus Faber.

I think this is the case in general, if you've never even heard a speaker, let alone heard of the speaker company, it's preferable to find all the information you would want on their website.
If, on the other hand, you're heard the speakers and heard of the company, you'd be more forgiving of a website that's lacking.
I think the companies should remember that a website is first and foremost a sales tool. If your store sucks, so will your sales.

Oh god, and it's got music. To me, a website with music that plays automatically is totally unforgiveable. (sp?)
