Holy Fvck! Adire Audio New products!

I thought the goal of the new buildhouse was to keep prices at about the same level? Im not familiar with Adires previous prices, though, so I dont know. Is there any major improvements or anything?

Previously Adire was mainly sold via the net (hence, lower prices). They are now trying to build their dealer network, so I assume all prices on their site are MSRP (what they would sell for in a shop), and not the "factory direct" pricing everyone is used to.

Website design. We wanted fast, simple, clean, and complete. Substance over style. Give me a simple paragraph or two of information and a table with relevant parameters over full animation, music, and slick graphics. Every page loads quick, has the same structure/layout, important links are in the exact same locations. Should work with as many browsers as possible with a minimum of plug-ins needed. It should even look OK on PDA/phone screens if possible.

 

If you have broken links, try refreshing. Everything should be live and good; if you do find an error, please contact our IT team at webmaster@adireaudio.com and they will get it fixed ASAP.

 

But overall we wanted a website where you can quickly find what you want, and get right to the meat of the information without wading through multiple menus, waiting for flash menus to pop around, etc. It's about the gear, not about the looks...

ok,

1. dosnt work in firefox - has to be in the top 3 browsers there are.

2. the site is divided at the beginning into FOUR different segments (home\mobile\bla\bla) with a GIANT UGLY adire logo that looks like they tried to emboss and looks like turds - very confusing because you need to go back here to get to the other sections.

3. the images at the beginning take forever to load the mouseover graphics. not quick loadtime IMO

4. there are ONLY pictures of the extremsis stuff and the UCD amps... and not even of the speaker itself. there should - at least, be one picture of the equipment in question.

5. IMO - the "information" is jumbled together in a massive bunch of blocks. very confusing and not professional.

6. theres more, but ill list it later.

that site needs ALOT of work to look like somthing worth buying speakers from - or having a 5000 custom made parthenon. id be sketchy if i didnt know who they were. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

I actually think the old site was a lot better organized and more informative....but whatever floats their boat. Seriously though, who doesn't have pictures of their products on their company site, what the hell?

why are xbl^2 speakers so cheap from AA, and now they are so expensive from the OG of xbl?

XBL^2 doesn't determine the entire sub. You still have different voice coils, different magnets, different top/bottom plates, different spiders/surrounds/cones/voice coil formers/etc. So, they are still totally different subs. They only share a single "technology", it's not like they are identical subs.

That's why.

Yes

is there a "factory direct" w/adire anymore?

I believe they are going to limit on-line sales to a single dealer, with no direct selling. I could be wrong though.....that's going from memory.

As someoone said over on SiN.com, don't most companies list MSRP for their equipment, then they may lower a bit when they actually sell? Isn't it just a marketing gimmick?
