MUCH better. . .

Maybe it's just me, though. . .I would like a lighter background. . .still a bit dark for my tastes.  Regardless, as I said. . .MUCH better.

I like it much better than the current one.  Every thing seem to be clearer.  I still would like to see better pictures of the speakers, especially close-up to show more details with different finishes.

WHen we get some pictures...they will be posted.  We have not even made a model for each finish that is available, the options are endless.We have a new veneer guy now and man is he spectacular.  As we get more finishes, we will get photos posted.

I like this arrangement much more than before - nice work!

Something seems off in the layout when viewed using Mozilla (or Firefox).  The Opera web broswer, however, seems to display the intended arrangement.

In Mozilla, I'm seeing two oddities:

1) There seems to be an "on mouseover" event that turns the underlying text orange.

2) The main "pane" of the page (below the white header bar containing "Product Information | Support | etc.) is not expanded to the full available width.  The width changes depending on which page I'm looking at.  I do have my browser set to over-ride some font settings... could this be the problem?

I would definately say so.  In my CSS i have font sizes and weights specified and if you override them...well...you over ride them.  I was going nuts with that myself when I was working on it.  In that particular section, if the fonts aren't right the boxes will appear to move in location and size in a negative way.  No simple fix, spent most of my time on that in particular and finally got it to work pretty decent.  I'm working in the webstore right now, and it is shut down... so, those things are secondary for the time being.

Much better. You're still overwhelming the user with information though.

I think you could accomplish everthing with one navigation layer that expands. So, you could have on either the top of the page or the left a "top-level" nav that consists of simply:
About Us | Products | Theory | Reviews | Purchase

When you click on "About Us" you get a company info splash page w/ a secondary nav layer (either under the top nav or indented and under the About Us if left-nav) that has:
Philosophy | Our Mission | Contact Info | Dealers |

etc.

You're definately on the right track though. Looks a lot better.

FWIW, I also get the weird orange text when my cursor is hovering over the page. I think you've got a rouge tag somewhere. I only looked for a second, but on this page
http://www.4sptech.com/new/waveguides.php

you have this:
Code: [Select]
<h2><a name=#without>THE PROBLEM(S) WITHOUT HORNS<BR> </h2>

w/ no
Code: [Select]
</a> tag. Might be causing the orange text hover.

Thanks!  I forgot to remove those anchors, I'm not using them anymore since I broke the page up.  I would have never remembered that.

Great improvement, pat yourself on the back!
The only question I have is what is 'S2' ?  It's in every logo everywhere...

If you squint your eyes a certain way, S2 becomes SP!
