Someone had mentioned Christopher Hansen on a thread I read the other day


Does anyone know whatever happened to him? I haven't heard a word about him in years.
For those not familiar with him he was the king of high-end audio retail in the Los Angeles area in the 80's and early 90's.

This thread brought back the image of that imposing wooden door. Aside from that, nice at first and then rather snooty.

All the best

Wow!!

Old thread but that store ended up costing me bazillions of dollars over the last 30 years, During the early 90's I would travel to the LA area on business, and visited that store each time I could.  The 2nd (and last) time I visited I wandered into the rear of the store and was blown away by my fist true home theater experience.  Sony 1271 CRT projector; Frox Processor; Snell THX speakers. I was bitten - went home (Atlanta) and replicated that room - and it hasn't stopped !!

I didn't know, until I read the above, what happened to that business.

There was a Christopher Hansen 2 on Wilshire as well.  Were these 2 places related?  Got a pair of Martin Logan Aerius i there before ML got really big.  Staff was nice and helpful.
