Personalization

Expertise

Definitive provided stellar service throughout – true white glove delivery, I didn’t do a thing. I recently bought a new BMW and the luxury shopping experience was no where near as polished.

1975-2025: 50 Years of Extraordinary

1975

The Coolest Street You've Never Heard Of

Audio row. It’s a place that you probably didn’t even know existed. But if you grew up in Seattle and love music, you know exactly what we’re talking about. Because during the golden age of HIFI, there was no better place in the world to come and check out all the latest mind blowing audio.

Today you'll find us at our state of the art Experience Center in Bellevue doing what we set out to do all those years ago: sharing the simple joy of music at its very best.

1993

Expanding to Bellevue

When we expanded in 1993 the East Side was an "up and coming" area. Now Bellevue plays host to some of the biggest names in technology. Our Experience center in Bellevue has now grown to occupy the entire building with a plethora of unforgettable experiences. Conveniently located on NE 20th with ample parking, Bellevue has proven the perfect spot to host our epic events.
