Polk website navigation quirksome?

Just a comment - not out to "polk" anyone in the eye (bad pun, sorry, kinda) but the polk website navigation is a bit annoying.
For example - if you use the mouse over to Products -> Home Audio -> by Type -> Floor Standers you get the page that has the complete Polk Line up of speakers - as usual.
But - if you click on a specific speaker, say the RTIA7, you get re-directed to the RTI Series "home page" and you have to 're-drill' down to get to the actual page for the RTIA7.
Same if you pick a specific VM series speaker - redirected to the VM 'home page'.
But - this does not happen if you click on a specific LSi speaker or R/T/M speaker.
If you pick a specific speaker, I'd say across the whole product line you should be linked directly to the specs for that speaker.

H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

You may be "admittedly bored", but I think you're right about navigation quirks. Some things have been very much improved, but eventually getting to a specific product page seemed more straightforward in the past. They may want to add the possibility of another layer, taking the browser from the comparison page to an individual speaker page.Erik Tracy wrote: »Just a comment - not out to "polk" anyone in the eye (bad pun, sorry, kinda) but the polk website navigation is a bit annoying.
