I stumbled upon this. While I was doing a search on Google for Beethoven speakers. What a great suprise.Very well done. 1st class graphics. Tons of info & reviews. I think it's the best audio website for speakers I've ever seen. Go to www.viennaacoustics.com. and let me know what you think!If this isn't the best. What's better?

Audio brethren,I am a proud owner of the VA Mozarts.
However this website's intent is good, but the execution is somewhat lacking.
In order to navigate the pop (I guess Flash?) images, I had to turn my mouse pointer into a figure skater, "swishing" all around the perimeter of the website in order to avoid those annoying pop up images.
In addition, the wait time for loading the flash? presentations was enough to allow me to cook some popcorn, return, munch away, & still wait. (56K dialup)ACHTUNG - QUESTION!
How y'all think these aluminum clad puppies will cost?
Over 10K for the Schonberg?Listen wit yo ears, not with words!
Must say something about the product.joe
You sir, sound like someone who has never heard one Note from a VA speaker! If you had,You'd never say what you did!These speakers have more substance then most I've heard! If you've never heard the speakers .Keep your comments to yourself!
I tried this site a while ago and I stopped very quickly as the site did not work very quickly. It is regrattably slow and cumbersome. I can't comment on the full content as I did not have the time or the enticement to keep looking. As an exercise for the designer it is terrific, but I must agree with the others - it is not likely to grab the interest of potential purchasers.The site needs to use one window, with clear, easily-navigable pictures and table of contents, pictures which load quickly, and which gives the answers people want. DROP THE FLASH please.
If you want other sites which are user-unfriendly, try Vampirewire and Lightning Audio (I think it is them) who make audio equipment for cars.

Come On! Your new baby of a web site is being crucified here.
Say something!
Bad marketing move.
Is your boss pissed?
Are we all being written off as a bunch of idiosynchratic, malcontent techno-hobbyists?Guess again.
Very poorly conceived. Web pages that are not content rich need to be designed like highway billboards-give the message fast. I think this is an example of web artistes run amok, at the expense of the business that their supposed to represent.

The people who gives the go ahead to this kind of website should be fired! They break the most important rule of any computer system - the good old "three-second-rule". It's been a loooong time since it was first discovered that the upper limit that a person is willing to wait for response from a computer is three seconds. Anything longer than that is annoying. (there are of course exceptions, but that's the general rule of thumb).This site is a disaster zone. I have a very fast internet connection (1.5Mb/s), but the site is still unbelievably slow. I thought everyone had learnt their lessons after the boo.com failure, but boy was I wrong.
What's wrong with simple fast loading HTML? Content is important. Presentation is important. Clean and simple is important. Flash can be a good tool, but to use it for entire websites is insane!

I agree completely. Cable modem service is disgustingly fast where I live and that site is a joke. Love the fake "Loading/Initialising" things, how cool is that? Gag.Whatever happened to elegant simplicity?

pause to breathe....
hohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoseemed like a good idea at the time.
It makes my eyes water and my stomach queasy.And you can't even back out of it with a simple click!
Noooooooooooooooooo.............
Is it cool..?....sort of.
Is it expensive...?.....yup.
Is it a user-friendly experience...?....nope.
Did the agency impress the hell out of the Marketing VP and other execs before sending them a massive bill....?....yup.
Is it a tool that will allow potential customers, dealers and audiophiles to (EASILY)learn more about Vienna's products...?.....NO ^^&%%#ing WAY!!!!Give me a break. My bet is that this new web site will become a bone of contention internally at Vienna.
This is the most cumbersome and awkward audio site I have ever seen.
Cool graphics though; so, you got that going for you - which is nice.
although I see how it would be bad on a dial up connection..Charlie
What's better? Any website that does not use funky navigation, endless animation, and other junk that slows down my search for simple info.
Not !!!!!

Flash graphics, waiting is oh so much fun...
Too bad Audiowalnut didn't do the PR for Herbal Life.
