Seeing Flemke's post reminded me of the Allied and Lafayette catalogs from the '60s and '70s. I remember they were warehouse distributors for a variety of audio products, but both sold house brand electronics. I can't imagine either one was a manufacturer as well so who built the products for each one?
I never owned either brand but believe both had components with solid reputations.
Thanks
