Hello,

I'm new to this forum but an old-timer to DIY speakers.  I landed here by searching for information about SpeakerLab in Seattle in 1973-74.  Before they moved to the U District (Sand Point Way?).  I still have the Marantz 2245 I purchased at Magnolia HiFi at that time.  I watch a lot of audiophile videos on YouTube.  Not going to bother anybody.

BTW I am currently in France and can help research any French gear and/or translate as needed.

Actually they were on Roosevelt, with Magnolia Hi Fi right next door.

Thank you all.  The SpeakerLab showroom I remember going to in 1973/74 was behind the University Village shopping center, going up 40th(?).  I visited the store on Roosevelt years later and bought a set of tweeters and crossovers to mod a pair of Fischer xp-60 speakers, if I remember correctly.

Noodling around on Google Maps and trying to go back 40 years, I think the original SpeakerLab showroom was at the corner of 35th Ave NE and NE 55th Street.
