Whatever Happened To SAE?

Old Towne Mall?! Dimensions in Stereo? I remember that place! Old Towne used to be such a happnin' place thirty plus years ago when I was in high school.

There are still two places in Redondo Beach right next to each other. Systems Design Group and Definition Audio. It cracks me up that they've been duking it out in the same little strip mall all these years.

I remember going to an audio show about 25-30 years ago in LA. All I remember was the Dahlquist room and the Penthouse Pet sitting in a bar stool signing her pictures.

That James Bongiorno interview is hilarious! I always admired those SAE and Sumo chassis. And he always used the same square extended font on the faceplates for both. But for the life of me, I can't think of that typeface.

Whatever happened to Christopher Hansen in Beverly Hills? He had a beautiful store on Olympic Blvd.

I remember sitting in the car waitting for dad at Leo' s stereo..I didnt understand what in the world would he take so long in the stereo shop..

Yes, and that big color organ in the Dimensions in Stereo back room. Mighty cool.

I had a SAE integrated (remember the "U" design, as well as their two parametrics eqs and finally the big 400 watts, ornage VU meter power amp.

I recall not-a-bad sounding gear from SAE, were well built and had a high re-sale factor.

It would be great to assamble a SAE rack for the office... hmmm.
