Ron-Know that I have talked to you in e-mail directly about this but thought I might bring it up here.
I do web design for a living and just happen to be an audio fiend on top of that. I have been visiting your site for years and find it extremely informative.
There are some problems with your site now, though. The new script menus are extremely problematic! I cant stress this enough. I know Electric Tonalities uses this as well but it is even more a problem on yours since your menus are centered on some pages and aligned left on others. What happens is, on a 19" monitor with the resolution set to 1024x768, I cant help but accidentily hit the "instant access" type menus thus catapulting me to the link... Problem is, as the new page begins to materialize, your mouse falls onto a NEW link coming up and you are catapaulted again to another page! In addition, as one moves the mouse from top to bottom of the pages, if he happens to run over one of your links, he gets catapulted, yet again, to whatever link the mouse passed over!
These trick style script links are a definite NO GO in the web design world as most web surfers are used to "clicking" on a link to send them to the appropriate page. The "mouse pass over jump to link" approach, while seeming neat, actually causes more problems and reminds me of an amp with flashing lights for the db! While the use of javascript in having the button change color or shape is fine, as is the ability to have the button pop up a pic, I still think that, like amp design, SIMPLE IS BETTER.
I think you also need to get a unifying theme on the site with a product page that is simple to read... As is, there are too many text colors, too many different styles of links, and it is comfusing. IN addition, I think you should have links to full size, high resolition, digital shots of your amps, thereby taking advantage of the fact that you have THE MOST beautiful SET amps on the market! REmember, people from afar want to SEE your product, as well as read all the info. When I post pics of your products, I always get responses!
Frankly, I think your page could be really redone and you would see a significant increase in hits and business. You have a great product! It uses simplicity to the fullest; it seems you would have a website that follows suit.
Please take this as constructive criticism.

ps- I took some screenshots of the warnings I am receiving on Netscape 4.67 when I go to your site. If you are interested, please drop me a mail. Would love to hear from you, anyway!
