EAW KF740 Loudspeakers Are the Centerpiece for L.A.’s Supperclub

Supper Club LA-9565b.jpgThe latest addition to the international Supperclub® group of dining and entertainment establishments recently opened in Hollywood, California.

Supperclub Los Angeles is located in the historic Vogue Theatre, a former movie house built…
