Love these guys, they will help you enjoy your music better than you could have conceived of. Always a treat getting to check out their inventory in the showroom. Not cheap but if you're shopping here I don't think that matters to you. read more

I came in with a turn table I got from the Brass Armadillo and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't play anything from the speakers. Initially I bought a new stylus off amazon because I thought that was the problem (it was) but amazon didn't specify what stylus i was buying so when it came to my door it wouldn't fit at all and i broke the original. So when I took it in the team there hooked me up and got me right, explained to me that i probably bought some cartridge and stylus that would make my music sound like crap they got me set up with a pretty good stylus and carriage and installed it for me and tested to make sure it worked, quick and easy too. These guys are awesome and screw amazon, listening to records is an art that should be listened to with the right equipment not some cheap amazon baloney. Come check this place out it's pretty cool and they will make sure you have a good listening experience from your turntable. read more

This place is a den of lust and financial ruin. So. Many. Times. I find myself innocently, joyfully, contentedly driving down 38th avenue, no thoughts of financial ruin or difficult spousal conversations anywhere near my mind, and then it's perky little sign appears: Crescendo. And with that sign, my audio spending crescendos. My hifi joy crescendos. My wife's ability to patiently wade through minuscule differences in this pair of headphones vs. that pair of headphones increases. The staff is helpful. Too helpful. The selection is excellent. Too excellent. I recommend this place for couples needing practical hello navigating differences of fiscal philosophies and working through low-level conflict. But for those wanting to keep their Beats by Dre or sweet ear-buds, this place is not for you. Avoid 38th. read more

Matt and his team always do an excellent job with problem solving and explaining alternatives I have purchased many pieces of my audio system from them and they know their stuff read more

I just got my new Pre-amp hooked up and realized how fortunate I am to have been working with Matt at Crescendo Fine Audio. In the short version I made a mistake on another Pre-amp and Matt was aware of my frustration and worked with me, beyond any expectations that I would have imagined. I have done business with Matt before and I will continue to return to Crescendo as my system evolves. I have been in sales for most of my life and I can appreciate the "no pressure" approach along with the lack of snobbery that is often associated with high end audio. As a buyer I like to buy the best I can afford ,you know the pinnacle for a Crescendo of satisfaction. Go see Matt and crew, they seek to satisfy. Mission Accomplished! read more

Please read carefully I mention competitors but not by name. After moving to Colorado permanently recently... I decided to visit every audio store in the Denver and surrounding communities. Some Audio stores were respectful with subtle-snobbery when they found out my budget was temporarily restricted For example: East side of Denver While trying to purchase$4000 Speakers And a projector They tried to steer me away from it a $3000 Epson Projector ... To an $8000 JVC paired with a $4000 screen This recommendation would've been more reasonable with a room that has ambient light. Told the sales person I was Starting with 1 of 5 audio/video rooms. Room 1 has a 140 inch screen covering the window removing ambient Light. Next, Unknowingly I called a Self admitted "disease level audiophile Store (he might even be home-based?)" He had the class, too refer me to a competitor "crescendo" You know crescendo is doing something right when competitors are Recommending them. The founder of the company and the staff are extremely knowledgeable, and have Products that no one else in the state of Colorado can carry. Before my first visit to crescendo My NEW Marantz product paired w/4 OHM Speakers... Protection kicked in Around 50% volume. Returned it to big box Never to return again. Going forward .... I believe the crescendo is in a unique position, To meet my middle or HIGH middle market needs NOW. when I'm ready, I'm confident crescendo will provide high and ultra high-end products as my circumstances get back to normal. (Son passed with extreme medical bills) Ask yourself over the next eight years... Would you rather buy two $1200 integrated amps/receivers... or a $2000 piece of art that will last longer because it's not being pushed as hard etc. Also if you haven't updated in a while crescendo Specializes in Game changing Tech ( starting at $400 ) that didn't exist Even a few years ago. Above all I wish you the best in your audio journey may you hear what you've never heard before. ( listening to a track you've heard many times ) Ps. Matt's in store vinyl collection is incredible. read more

You don't have to spend six figures to be treated like royalty at Crescendo. Got a great deal in October on a Music Hall turntable, had a slight issue with its OtoFon cartridge, and Matt and the crew resolved it right away. The whole staff at Crescendo is friendly, honest, and committed to getting you fine audio in your budget. read more

We love Crescendo! We purchased our turntable over the summer and just picked up a set of speakers + sub. Matt is super knowledgable and frequently has new and interesting vinyl in stock. We wouldn't go anywhere else for our sound needs! Also, planning on making a television purchase here in the future. Hopefully the Ridge at 38 plan will bring more cool businesses like Matt's to our hood - we need them! read more

These guys are about as good as it gets. Honest, forthright, and genuinely engaged in a labor of love. I cannot suggest Crescendo highly enough. Thank you. read more

Update: so the time came for me to upgrade some of my original purchase from Matt and company. They've supplied me with an amp, turntable, and speakers so far, and I've been quite impressed with the quality of the gear, variety of price points, and, of course, the great service. So, I went in to see what their trade up program entailed, and found the perfect upgrade at an incredible price. There were several options to choose from, and I was able to get some great information on each choice, listen to as much music as I liked to see what I thought, and then got a great deal, all without any hassles like having to sell my old turntable that I traded in. I can't recommend Crescendo highly enough. The service is fantastic and the staff is friendly, patient, and helpful, which is really important when you're selling fine audio gear and making a big purchase, whatever that means for your budget. read more

I found Crescendo because I learned they were a JL Audio dealer and I was looking for a subwoofer. This is a comfortable store with lots of vinyl and gorgeous equipment around. Adam, who I worked with, was knowledgeable and easygoing. Because they carry Harbeth speakers, I could demo the subwoofer with my actual speakers, and it was all set up when I arrived. Being a subwoofer novice, I was able to take my time with the demo and ask a lot of questions. Ended up purchasing the unit (which I love). I would definitely recommend this store to others and plan on frequenting the store in the future. read more

The guys at Crescendo Fine Audio are absolutely fantastic! In my quest for a new 5.1 and general listening system, I finally ended up here.  Adam's gang of audiophiles are simply phenomenal.  My wife and I walked into a welcoming environment and straight into their listening room.  It was slow that morning so we had the entire staff arranging the room,  hooking up speakers,  tuning the system,  etc. Adam's prices are great,  only beat buy his customer service.  I bought my system just before black Friday sales were released so I missed all of the discounts that were announced shortly after we left the store.  I was astonished when I received a text from Adam apologizing for the already great price we received; Adam wanted to make it better so he threw in some freebies we had previously talked about purchasing. I can't speak highly enough of the folks at Crescendo Fine Audio, we will never shop anywhere else for audio equipment! read more

Properly set up, vinyl records sound much better than CD's or music from Itunes. Songs are more musical, instruments are brighter, drums have more punch. It's rare to have a store with the amount of equipment to try of all price ranges and super friendly owners to provide advice and help without them pushing to sell you something. I highly recommend visiting this hidden jewel. read more

An excellent selection of high end fine audio and clean vinyl records.
