High Fidelity House, Pasadena?

[Drugolf]

Anybody know anything about High Fidelity House that was in Pasadena at some point many moons ago?
I just picked up an old mono speaker loaded with Altec goodies that apparently they made including this crossover.

No idea on the company, but I like that they specified the crossover at 497 cycles. I often thought 500 sounded too high:)

I lived in Pasadena in the '80s. That company like so many Hi-Fi shops was already long gone.

Ha! Cool. I'll reach out to Ryan at that number......
I did the same as you and checked out google maps/earth. That building either got a facelift, or it's a different building. Right off of California Ave.

to pique your interest even more, this crossover was attached to some pretty nice stuff.
