In Reply to: Which speakers did those stores use? posted by edta on December 10, 2006 at 16:55:14:
"Yet another store (s), Record Theater. Remember them? They had those Altec VOTs hanging from the ceiling in the corners."I remember that place vividly. On the West section of Golden Gate Plaza off Mayfield Rd.. A sad aspect of that place was before it closed, they replaced those VOTs with stacked Bose 802s or 901s. Of course back at that time, I never imagined the VOTs being audiophile faves.
When I moved to California, there were stores like Licorice Pizza and Wherehouse, which also had amazing sound, in my recollections. Not to mention the old Federated Group stores, where I spent almost half my time.... Most of the stuff there was "mid-fi" by high-end standards (although they did have an "esoteric" room, with Dahlquist and Ohm Walsh F), but the sound got a lot of people hooked on audio nonetheless.
