Crescendo founder Matthew Alterman's years of experience with high performance audio sales and custom home installation in the metro Denver and Boulder, Colorado area has shown him that consumers in the market for fine audio and video products are also seeking informed, trustworthy personalized service. Prior to his relocation to Colorado, Matt worked with his father at Alterman Audio in New Orleans. These experiences inspired him to start his own brick and mortar store in 2012.

Crescendo relies on a team who have exceptional character, are committed music lovers and audio enthusiast. We work diligantly to get the most out of every system regardless of budget contraints and are a team that is constantly listening. Listening to your specific needs by asking the right questions. Listening for better gear and the nuance that seperates them at times. We also try to make the process of picking a system enjoyable, unique to you and educational so you can make informed decisions. This also enables you to better appreciate what you own, avoid buyers remorse or the hassle of a return and support a local community.

Crescendo Fine Audio has since then been serving the metro Denver and Boulder, Colorado area, and sometimes even beyond the region, with a carefully curated selection of high fidelity audio and video products. Since 2014 Crescendo has been operating out of a comfortable, friendly, easy to access brick and mortar store in centrally located Wheat Ridge.

Crescendo provides exceptional service and support before and after the sale. This is essential with the increased complexity of systems, overwhelming amount of choices, and need for proper setup.
