Great site! Very well designed and navigable. The new amps look pretty cool too.

I've only taken a brief look at it, but so far it appears to be a drastic improvement over their old site.

The new site looks SO much better, much easier on the eyes and easier to navigate. My only complaint is that sometimes it takes a few too many clicks to see specific items, so I'd like to see drop-down menus for each product section going to specific items.

I am disappointed with the looks of the new Max line. The old Max and Blockhead looked more "solid" than the new Max.

I am with you. Featurewise all those amps seem nice, with the internal DAC options and all, but to me those curved cases are pretty repulsive. I also don't like the green LED in the IMHO ugly white logo. Those amps look like a retro-futuristic experiment gone wrong. Yuck.

The website is sweet...

I didnt think the pics tyll posted a few weeks earlier were the actual finished product but it looks like this is the case.

But no comment otherwise (rules)

The website is very well done IMHO. The new products are interesting...I'll be very happy to try them out this Friday at the Wadia meet. I'm not sure about the new look amps, but I'm thinking that it will grow on me.

I could go either way on the looks. I think the design works better on the smaller amps. Also, I wish the toggle switches were a lot beefier. Those little ones get lost on that huge front panel. Tyll has mentioned repeatedly that the chassis are only protos though.

The website is an improvement, but still not the best in my opinion. It seems a lot easier to find the actual product. I am not a big fan of websites that only take up a small part of the center of the screen.

Organic design....some like it, some dont. I for one is hoping that the upper level of amps will go in a different direction. The minimalist approach can be successfull as demonstrated by the Prehead.

Amicalement

EDIT: BTW nice changes to the website.

I think the new site looks great and will be easier for the non-headfi'r (newb) to comprehend.

thanks for the headsup about the new website.

i like it, it's nice and clean. same with the new amp designs.

aesthetics are all very subjective, but it's great to see HR innovating. Congrats Tyll et al.

For those who didn't followed headroom coda overture tread, here the thinking behind the new amp design and new website design. There is an explanaiton why it doesn't look as "solid"

Ordered my Micro amp... 2-4 weeks!?@$ Ouch, not sure I can wait! New site looks great and new products are sweet! I do kinda like the older look of the larger home amps but very anxious to hear the new Micro amp which I ordered with the desk top module.
