Audio on the Web

Stephen Mejias  |  Sep 13, 2006

There are very many high-end audio websites out there. I know this because I've spent all day working on our "Audio Manufacturers on the Web" directory, which may be published in our 2007 Buyer's Guide.

I've got this 45-page Word document which lists every audio manufacturer's website we've come across, from 47 Laboratory to ZVOX Audio. I know: I'm sure we've missed someone. But, believe me: It wasn't on purpose. I copy a manufacturer's URL into a browser and fly to that site in order to answer two big questions:

1. Does the site still exist?
2. Does it really belong on our list?

If you make speakers specially suited for scuba diving, I don't think you belong on our list. If your principal objective is to facilitate the trade among the economies of Austria, Ecuador, and the United States, I don't think you belong on our list. (How did you get in here?) And so on.

Audio and Austria and Australia, the list goes on and on ... even if you get it right today, large gaps will magically appear while we browse. It is almost like the Internet is not quite finished, just yet ;)
