Manuel Delaflor Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 What do you think? Personally, I think there are prettier ones, Im not particularily attracted to current design. End of micro-rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Shomaker Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I like it but I think it's time they change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale W Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I don't mind it at all , straight forward and easy to get around. No flashy colours and dark background like the AVS forum. Plus way easier to find a topic or get a decent answer than the audio nuthouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 The only gripe I have is no Heritage represented. I think Klipsch is doing themselves a disservice by not have there flagship Klipschorn represented on the opening page. Klipsch was built around the heritage line and it should continually represent the companies Heritage, especially since they are still built. There my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor.Ham.Slap Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I agree. This site is built around simplicity, which should be the goal of old websites. Plus, it's not like someday someone just decides "Hey, I'm bored. Let's redesign the main page." Many thousands of dollars go into getting an operable website up.

jt1stcav Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I dunno...it works for me! It's informative and easy to navigate through, but I do wish they had images of all their past horn speakers. Surely in their archives are photos of the Cornwalls, Shorthorns, and others that can be posted next to their descriptions. Just my two cents...

I think Dell's new website is AWFUL - the old one was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I don't mind the looks of this board, but functionally I think it sucks. Half the time I can't use the font I really want to, getting pictures into my posts is a PITA, and the search engine is plain dreadful.

DrWho Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 well i would agree, the forum sucks...but that's an external company: Ideal Science, Inc. as far as the actual website, it's one of the best i've seen. as with anything, there is plenty of room for improvement, but i really enjoy the simplicity with the vast amount of content that can be found. (it would be nice though if they'd include more of their products as well as get pictures for everything). I own a ton of klipsch speakers that aren't even mentioned anywhere on the website! sometimes it makes me wonder if they're even klipsch anyways, i do like the website...the forum though "sucks" for lack of a better term. the raw content from all the smart ppl is what keeps me here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabez Scratch Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I think that the site is respectable, and probably one of the better ones for audio equipment. Too much brown perhaps, but Klipsch does have a trademark coppery colour attributed to it. The forum is great, easily one of the best I've ever come across for a/v stuff or otherwise. I give the website an 8.5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Whats wrong with the forum? It think it operates just fine. I do a search and I get very quick replies. Anyway, I have stayed away from posting in this topic for some time. As a web developer/software engineer myself, it's not easy to produce good looking, easy to navigate, attractive looking websites. So to come in and give a blanket statement like the site sucks is down right non helpfull as well as causes bad feelings for the development team who is working on the site. Think of website development as an art. If you're an artist, you created some painting, would you want someone coming up to your face and saying, it looks like crap?

LarryC Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I think it looks overly satanic at times. The copper color may interfere with how well speakers will appear on the home page, especially if fine wood grain starts showing up (don't we hope!).

dkp Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I like the format. You know the saying, "You can please some of the people..." I do have one suggestion that I believe is shared by many, and that is to modify the indicator for when we have a personal message. This one is far too small and just doesn't get your attention when there is a message waiting. Other than that the forum seems to work just fine.

formica Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Nope i'm with Manuel on this one, as I think VISUALLY there are prettier, simpler, and higher-end looking sites out there. On the other hand, I have no issues with the forums. The "home page" is the most critical, kinda like a persons first impression. It just gives me the feeling of a "computer speaker" manufacturer's site. Simplicity is key in highend design esp the home page... and NOT flashing banners , several different types of unrelated fonts, too much info and irrelevant links for a welcome page, etc... The designer did try to keep a certain consistency by using the same left hand menu bars from page to page... but then the rest of the pages are stylistically inconsistent. Don't get me wrong; it's not a BAD page... and better than most other speaker manufacturers' pages that you'll find at BestBuy. But in my opinion, Klipsch aren't a BB type of manufacturer. Later... Rob PS: Anything familiar will be easy to navigate, but for a newb who isn't familiar with the different Klipsch models, they may not be sure where to find the info they are looking for.
