I went to this particular Magnolia, after reading about another Magnolia AV on Judy's. The store itself is very nice, with great service and knowledgeable staff. I installed a car stereo and alarm. Afterward I bought a couple of gift certificates for the guys that helped me (Eddie - car stereo, and Joe - install). Their gear is high end, but if you want quality, this is the place to go.

It's expensive...but they are very good. And they do install cars too. They have a location on Roosevelt in Seattle.

Magnolia Hi-Fi is a place for true audio and video connoisseurs. Not everyone can tell the difference between music played through $50 speakers vs. a $5000 speaker system. However, if you can tell the difference and you're willing to pay for quality then Magnolia Hi-Fi is a great place. The staff is very knowledgeable and does a good job matching buyers to equipment.

Twice in the last year I've gone into this place to get a CD player put into each of our cars. My husband and I are not big consumers in the audio/electronics field and are usually decades behind the rest of the world. But the reason I went to Magnolia Hi Fi was because over twelve years ago I bought a boom box there. I had specific needs and I remember that there was no pressure to buy more than I needed. They gave me honest feedback and recommendation for my needs. This Panasonic boombox keeps on tickin' and has been in some of the roughest conditions. So, of course, when I finally came into the 21st century to put a CD player in my car, I went back to this place. I like the vibe -kind of elegant, low key & no pressure, but well informed. Sure enough, I got a fellow in the mobile audio section by the name of Paix (pronounced Pax - means peace, I think). He had great customer skills and never tried to oversell, but knew the products well. Because of his friendly service, I came back six months later to put a CD player in our other car. Paix was there again. I didn't recognize him, but he recognized me. That's good service, too. I had the feeling that he really was on the lookout for the best deal that would suit me. It works to treat the customer well, I'm telling you. I prefer this to cheap superstores with the deal-of-the-day kind of hustle. I will return.
