I discovered HD Design group about a year ago when I was hunting down a legacy audio dealer after meeting Brandon I never looked back. I explained my situation and my goals to Brandon and he went above and beyond to help me achieve the perfect sound, he has the most experience/knowledge I have found anywhere. I would highly recommend HD Design group to anyone looking for the best service/products at any price point.

It was extremely helpful to hear what a professional had to say about proper monitoring and acoustics for a home studio setup. It was also a great treat to listen to the different sound systems and get an appreciation for sound treatment and the different sound systems. The treatment and tuning he does makes a world of difference.Anyone into hi-fi or pro audio would be crazy not to check him out!

Brandon went above and beyond to secure hard to source replacement parts for my Kii speakers. The excellent communication and follow through are but just a few of the reasons to use them for your Audio needs. Thank you!!

When I went shopping for a hi-fi system, I was looking for the biggest bang for my bucks. I knew I could not afford the best, but I at least wanted to stretch my financial comfort zone if it meant I would be spending wisely toward a long-lasting and superior sounding system. I talked with sales people at Best Buy/Magnolia and Listen-Up, but quickly realized they asked too few questions and then pointed me to products. Their first question, “How much do you want to spend?” In contrast, when I met with Brandon he asked me specifics about my sound goals within the next ten years, understanding that for me it was a plan with multiple phases as money allowed. He asked me not only about the type of music I liked, but where the content was coming from and in what quality. He enlarged my perspective of adding video (at some point) and tying it all into the same system. Without rushing, Brandon spent substantial time with me, freely sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of his craft. With the use of his sound rooms, he demonstrated multiple systems as he expertly explained the highs, the lows, and the mid’s, letting me hear for myself what sounded best (even taking into consideration my tinnitus! and how I could help it). I appreciated that Brandon’s process kept me from over-buying. Instead of purchasing traditional passive speakers which require a separate amplifier, he had me consider active speakers. He mentioned that with some speakers, the low end is so powerful that a sub-woofer was not necessary. He was patient and he let me “close the deal” when I was ready… and not as his final “pitch”. Brandon offered design ideas to help blend the sound system into my home environment (happy wife happy life). I purchased ATC SCM 50s with an ATC C3 center. At my house he installed the cables and positioned my speakers to work in phase. The sound in my 28’x28’ vaulted room (14’ high) is delicious. The orchestra arrived to fill the challenging room with beautiful music. Brandon is generous in sharing his knowledge, and the type of human I enjoy working with!

Ive been working with Brandon for almost 15 years now. He recently helped me with a home theater upgrade that moved my system forward for new technology but built on some of the previous components I had in place, as well as updating and tuning my turntable. So, I was also treated to a walkthrough of his new studio that represents the transition to their new branding update to Groove.First, I love their approach. They respect your prior purchases, your budget and priorities, and the attributes of your room. They consult with you on your needs, your listening preferences, and help you evolve your systems over time.Second, they understand both audio and theater. They have curated systems that fit either use case, and great ideas to build with an eye to both. Its rare to find someone that understands the nuances of complex multi-channel Atmos systems and digital music, but also loves two-channel audio and vinyl.Next, Brandons relationships with the leaders in the industry and knowledge of the components available in the market today are awesome. Hes built curated systems in their new studio with components that are world class and work well together. But, he does it with an eye to price/performance, so there are options at multiple pricepoints that can smoke some of alternatives and names you might see at other shops.Finally, Groove is focused on speciality designer systems, especially for theater, that are built in and customized to your room. Their studio shows off how complex theaters can be simple to operate with clean, hidden speakers and wires so you can enjoy your living space and aesthetics.I wholeheartedly recommend engaging if you are serious about high end music and/or great theater experiences in your home.

I would like to offer my extremely enthusiastic review of HD Design Group in Denver Colorado! A few years ago I was recommended highly to Brandon of HD Design Group during our search for new loudspeakers. We made an appointment after speaking about our needs and met him at their beautiful location in Denver. First impression was how well thought out and designed their listening rooms were. He is a master of design and the rooms were not only oozing elegance, but much thought and planning had gone into the room acoustics as he explained the theory behind even the smallest of details that affected the sound.From the get go, it was clear that Brandon is one of those who has a passion for his craft, whether it be helping a client select the best stereo equipment and aiding in installation or creating the ultimate home theater room. So many in this hobby are close minded and are only in this to make a sale. Brandon is an actual real person that loves helping his clients and gets joy out of seeing the happiness his clients experience and is eager to share his knowledge learned during years of studies and work experience.He made it clear from the start that he is interested in making long term relationships with his clients and enjoys helping their dreams unfold and become reality. Previous to meeting Brandon I had spent endless hours on audiophile forums and equipment reviews and Brandon was a breath of fresh air after listening to so many put down other manufacturers and fellow audiophiles, just because they held different views. I really enjoyed listening to the knowledge he has, spanning from old school theories to up to date technology and where we are evolving. We really cherish and respect his opinions and feel he really has his customer’s well-being and budget in mind. We are so very happy we met Brandon and look forward to a very long relationship with him in this ever changing audiophile world. Thank you so very much!

Really glad I found HD Design Group. I’m finished building out my home theater and was looking for a quality immersive surround sound processor. I just couldn’t go with the big box mass produced retailers again. I knew my Towers (Vienna Acoustics Concert Grands) were not reaching their full potential. I knew separates were the way to go.HD Design Group sells high end audio equipment. They also have their own line of speakers and other niche products. Everything HIFI, theater rooms, projectors, two channel and the rest.Brandon, the owner, is very knowledgeable and he recommended the Acurus Muse processor!All I can say is wow!!!!!! My speakers have come to life!, it’s intuitive and easy to use! Love it!I highly recommend HD Design! They know the technology and their HIFI products are carefully vetted.Thank you Brandon for helping me navigate the right products for me!Jeff

Brandon Howell is a true professional. If you want to upgrade to a superior system and have the best possible audio experience for yourself, go to HD Design. High end for high end users and clients. This aint no Best Buy! Not only the recommended equipment but clean and efficient install. And strong follow up service to make sure I was happy and HE was happy with the system. Incredible.

I have been a customer since 2001 when I purchased my first pair of Paradigm Ref Speakers which I still enjoy today. I am always blown away by the owners knowledge of not just audio gear but all that goes into making a system sound great! I have recently returned to their new showroom in progress which looks to be something very special for those who want a very professional and consultive experience. Brandon who is their lead designer I decided to turn loose on my basement remodel after taking several bids from 4 other general contractors. His depth of knowledge and his memory of our many conversations was great! The other contractors who had interior designers were horrible listeners and pushed only what they thought we needed and what they thought my wifes taste should be which did not go over well. His approach was not only refreshing but the outcome was fantastic. What impressed us the most was the consideration of my budget regardless of the money I had to spend and the detail and amount of he was willing to spend time spent asking questions that frankly no combination of the other contractors asked regarding not just the nuts and bolts but most importantly how we wished to use the various proposed spaces and my families life style. This company has changed a great deal since my first experience as they were focused on theater and audio only. They have found a true niche with a very unique mix of professional skills and services now offered I had to laugh as they not only cover interiors, audio, theater, lighting buts also outdoor entertainment and but Brandon is very proud of their Memphis Grills! The staff was good to work with throughout the project and their subcontractor recomendaitons were outstanding. Brandon has very high if not too high of expectations at times of others on the job. You have great crews let em roll. I ended up with a totally custom and beautiful bar with great custom lighting their millwork company knocked it out of the park. The exercise rooms best feature was there recommendation for the SwissTrax custom floor which Brandon created a very cool contemporary design for. Our families favorite space with out question is the theater room. No one does it better than these guys I wanted the very best music playback experience I could afford and the theater was more for the rest of the family and friends. Well Brandon you and your crews exceeded expectations in every way the room sounds absolutely amazing and looks fabulous thank you for listing involving and helping my wife with the color scheme and furniture recommendations. Again the millwork and your crazy lighting concepts which we had a hard time visualizing are one of the first things our guests comment on. I look forward to HD working on our outdoor entertainment and kitchen this next spring. Great job and congrats on your 20th anniversary, no small task...Sincerely,Charles and Stephanie

I visited with Brandon last year. He was still working on the new showroom, but noticed me at the door and let me in. I was having trouble with my speaker placement or something. I just couldnt get them right. Brandon asked me several questions about the placement, room configuration etc. He suggested my room design was not correct for the type of speakers I had at the time. I replaced the speakers with the type he suggested and my problems were resolved. Because of the professional and correct help he gave me last year, I am now going back to visit with him about another product that I need. I recommend him to anyone that needs help with stereo products and advice.

Brandons advice on my home theater system was excellent. He also was very pleasant to work with. Harvey

Ive been working with these folks for nearly 20 years now. Every time has been a fantastic experience with something new that has been a great value for an amazing new product. Whatever the budget, whether Entry Level, Mid-Level, or World Class products, theyve always stayed on top of the best for any discriminating audiophile, home cinema devotee, or even lighting/security/whole house networking needs.

I met Brandon from HD Design at the RMAF (Rocky Mountain Audio Fest) 2019. I have been looking for a music server/player to play my digital files and stream Tidal. I was interested in the Innuos Zenith MK III. I luckily walked into HDs room at RMAF, which had the Innuos Zenith along with Vinni Rossi components and the room sounded fantastic. I spoke to Brandon for a few minutes and he suggested i head down to the Innuos room to hear the Phoenix reclocker with the Zenith. When I got to the Innuos room at RMAF, the owner of Innuos was there and he did a demonstration of the Phoenix reclocker: i was shocked by how big of a difference and how greatly improved the sound was with the Phoenix reclocker added to the Zenith. I still wasnt sure if that sound would translate to my system, so at RMAF Brandon offered to lend me HDs Zenith MK III after the show. He gave me his card, and a few weeks after RMAF I called him up and he lent me the Zenith MK III (he didnt have Phoenix in stock yet). Many people offer to lend out gear, but few actually follow through on their promises: Brandon followed through on his promise. I drove down to the store to pick up the Innuos and spent a few hours at the store with Brandon. He showed me some of HDs systems and we talked about audio gear and audio systems and I would have spent all day talking to him but unfortunately i had to get to work. It became clear when I met Brandon at RMAF and from our conversations when I picked up the Innuos and thereafter that he loves great sounding systems and he strives to find the best gear possible systems to sell so that they will have great synergy and great sound. I enjoyed talking with Brandon so much I invited him to my house to hear my system and have dinner. I took the Innuos Zenith home on a Friday (returned it Monday so Brandon lent it to me for 3 days), hooked it up, and was up and running in about 5 minutes (I got a free Roon trial to test out the Innuos). I had a friend of mine come over to listen with me, and the Innuos was certainly much better than my computer: the sound stage was better but the instrument separation was significantly better and overall the sound was significantly more enjoyable to listen to. Whether you are like me, and want to test out products before buying them to insure that they will improve your system, or you are more laid back and want someone to just tell you what will make a good system or will improve your system, Brandon and HD Design can provide both. If you are in the market for audio gear or theater gear, I strongly recommend calling Brandon and stopping by HD Design on south Colorado blvd. Highly recommend.
