Klangfilm & Western Electric Music Hall / Cafe in Seoul

[seti]

In Japan and Korea in the 60's and 70's Jazz or Classical music fans would go to little cafes with great hi-fi systems to listen to music. I always thought this was a brilliant idea. It would be fun to travel to a few of these cafes. This is an example of a larger one. It actually looks like the hall is shaped like a theater. Should be a good fit for the vintage theater horns.

WOW

I do like that idea, probably would work today also, people are always looking for something different. Coffee shop/cafe and at night a little different lighting for maby Jazz or different themes on different nights.

Seti needs to start a franchise ! [H]

I've thought about it because I love coffee, drinks, music, and large speakers. The first theme night would have to be "Go Go" : ) Could be fun but would take lots of money $$$$$$.

I've had that very same idea. Plus you could put a little niche in the corner full of hi quality cd's and platters and turn your customers onto some good music at the same time.

Ferget the Klispch Store, how about the Klipsch Cafe. Or Thebes-O-Rama House-of-Speakers.

Anybody want to buy in on the franchise?

I think Colter could have something like that up and running in no time !

Would not work here. Some repeat offender thug would break in and steal the stuff. Would last about 2 weeks- give or take.

Some of the Jazz Cafe's have big steel cages in front of their systems. I can't find the pics of those.

What?! You post a plug on the Cafe with the Western Electric gear, but not a mention on the man in the pic who actually brought you that pic?!

Pay Attention......

[:$] Can't find the original article that led me to the video and cafe [:$]

All I remember is that he was a famous dj/producer who was a big classical music fan.
