Don and Lori have helped me on the evolution of my hifi journey with some very insightful suggestions that have proven to be the right things I needed to do to achieve my goals. This kind of 1:1 time and care is what is needed to achieve high end audio rather than picking and choosing from reviews online.

Don is the nicest dealer you can ever hope to find in high-end audio. There is zero pressure to buy, has the best prices you can find and is happy to share valuable advice. He will make sure everything is right when you buy. He carries excellent lines of high-end audio. He is just a great guy to talk to. Highly recommended.

Fort Collins Audio is the best around. Don was super helpful when installing an Ortofon for me. Don, and his wife Lorelei, are very friendly, knowledge people. I would highly recommend Fort Collins Audio. They know how to treat their customers. I will return for future purchases!

Don is an audiophile who is very honest in his business. I have worked with him both as a client and as a colleague and he was straight up and easy to work with. Very attentive to his clients needs, highly recommended.

I highly recommend these guys!Don provided me with comprehensive information around Totem speakers. He was able to articulate very clearly the differences and use for each Totem speaker - and also a great comparison between Totem and Totem speakers. Friendly, not pushy at all, and he makes it very easy to choose gear to fit your lifestyle and budget. Unbelievable level of service!

I had an extremely positive experience. Don was able to customize my Project turntable, when several other dealers told me it couldnt be done. There was no pressure to buy, and he also expedited a warranty issue that I had. He has an extensive product line and is very responsive to questions. I will definitely look here for future purchases.

Don is very knowledgeable and we enjoy his no-pressure style. He is more than willing to bring equipment to your home for a great demo experience. Highly recommend Fort Collins Audio!

I met Don at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. He told me he could help me select a turntable for my fiance, and he was true to his word. He communicated with me extensively, answered my questions, offered competitive prices, and provided outstanding service shipping my selection to my home in Colorado Springs. I highly recommend Fort Collins Audio. Thank you!

Bought a Parasound preamp and cable from Fort Collins Audio and am very satisfied. Don is really easy to work with, super friendly, and goes out of his way to make sure his customers are satisfied. Was very impressed that he was willing to deliver the preamp to me personally from 70 miles away. Ill be using Fort Collins Audio again once its time to buy that new turntable.

Don was a pleasure to work with. I needed help rewiring some existing in-wall speakers and getting those speakers connected and powered. He helped me design a new system, which will have excellent sound and will all be connected via Sonos. For the most part I was able to use a lot of the existing system and make a few upgrades where we both felt is was worth the investment. Don was extremely knowledgeable and helped us build a system that was within our budget. Call him!

Really outstanding customer service. Demoed a system at my home to take the guess work out of it. Patient, knowledgeable and helpful in all aspects. Knows music and gear. Honest and straightforward, no pressure or games.

Don recently serviced an amplifier for me that needed a new digital volume controller. great service and work with a super fast turnaround. I wouldnt hesitate to take gear to him for service again and am glad to have found a reliable repair option in town! Also has a great showroom and well worth the trip if you are in search of some new gear.

What a great experience working with Don and Lori! They took the time to truly understand what I was looking for in my 2 Channel setup, and worked with me along the way to make sure I was happy and getting the sound I wanted. Don brought equipment to my home so I could hear the improvements with my setup. He certainly knows how to listen and taught me a lot about speakers and my entry into vinyl. Excellent service, kind and compassionate about their offerings! Highly recommended!

I have purchased a variety of audio equipment pieces from Don, with a wide range of prices. In every instance Don has shown me the utmost in professionalism, courtesy, and genuine enthusiasm . Along the way, Don and I have become friends; even as his business has expanded to become one of Fort Collins leading audiophile equipment dealers, Don has retained his passion for good music, and the pursuit of excellence in reproducing sound regardless of ones budget and individual situation. Considering how important music is to me, Fort Collins Audio has made a significant difference in my quality of life.

Don was very helpful and knowledgeable. I am new to hi-fi, and Don was helpful without the attitude you can get from other stores when you dont know everything. Don took the time to explain the pros and cons of what I had in mind and was able to steer me in a better direction. I have no doubt I will enjoy my purchase from Don, which was a very fair price.

Don is absolutely wonderful to work with. He is primarily interested in helping you get the sound you want within your budget. There was never any sense that he was trying to upsell me. He asked a lot of questions about what I was hoping for and then guided me in the right direction. He knows his sound systems and can talk the ins and outs with the best of them. And he can also talk to the novices like myself in a way that makes sense.

Really great service, fair prices - The personal attention and expertise you get here makes it well worth visiting over online retailers.

My wife and I met Don at RMAF 12, and were impressed not only with the sound of his room and the quicksilver amps, but more than that, the friendly, welcoming attitude Don and his wife exuded is what won us over. Even more fun for me, was when I discovered Don is a fellow DIY speaker builder like me! Don is a no pressure kind of guy which is just the icing on the cake.

I reached out to Fort Collins Audio to help me repair some Vienna Acoustic Bach Grands that I had blown the mid-woofers out on a few years ago. Don was straight-up about the cost of repairing my speakers vs. buying something new (way cheaper to go new), and then did extensive research to find some great speakers that met my needs and budget (KEF Q100s, which I absolutely LOVE). He was very responsive to my questions and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Great sound doesnt require a second mortgage! Fort Collins Audio proved that for me.

I have enjoyed listening to music (Blues, Rock, Jazz) for many years and wanted to upgrade my system. I contacted Don & Lori as a result of my interest in the Spendor D7 speakers and after two demo sessions with Don I purchased the speakers - these are incredible and highly recommended. A short time later I went back to Don to discuss upgrades on my preamp and power amp and my budget. Dons audio knowledge and recommendations were extremely helpful in my equipment selection: I purchased the Quicksilver Line Stage preamp, Jolida JD-9 II phono preamp and the Parasound A21 power amp which are all excellent and also highly recommend. I cant thank Don enough for sharing his knowledge, recommendations and support - Don and Lori are also highly recommended.

Don and Lorelei are very nice people and I had a great experience shopping for a new preamp. Don was very accomodating to my requests and provided extensive knowledge and service, which has also continued after my purchase. The Quicksilver products are an excellent value and Im quite impressed with their linestage. I would highly recommend Fort Collins Audio to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable one stop shop for all of their Hi-Fi needs..

I originally approached Don with the goal of improving our home theater system so that we could better understand dialog, British in particular. We easily accomplished those goals by adding new speakers in a two-channel setup with our existing AVR. But, with still more listening (and considerable patience from Don and Lori) we went on to add new electronics for the full excitement of a movie theater—but much easier on the ears and incredible for music. We ended up with the best possible gear to match our needs and budget. In Northern Colorado, we are fortunate to have multiple great options for the purchase of audio gear. What sets Fort Collins Audio apart is Don’s expertise and genuine interest in meeting his customers’ needs--accomplished by great auditions in a home setting.

Bought a used Klipsch KV-3 center channel speaker from Fort Collins Audio. It was a pleasure dealing with Don Walker (owner). He answered all my questions and provided pictures as this was not a face to face purchase. Rest assured if you buy audio equipment over the internet from Fort Collins Audio it will be as he described. Honest dude with excellent pricing and shipping costs. Would gladly do business with Don again in the future.

I have had an exceptionally good time listening to Dons products. He understands the value of enjoying listening, and will help customers listen to the differences in stereo components. I replaced my broken record player with a Pro-ject and I love it. I also got a relatively cheap DAC that made a huge improvement in sound quality. I appreciate his honest opinion, which feels authentic and not tarnished by trying to sell to a customer. The equipment he sells sounds great, I am a fan of his Kef speakers! Nobody in Colorado gives a customer such a good opportunity to HEAR the difference between what you have and what you may want to buy. You are far better off buying here than Best Buy if you love music!

I called looking for a used pair of high eff speakers for a 5 watt amp. Don shared what he had in stock and after a few months I decided on a pair of Klipsch Quartets. He set them up and I had a good listen to them and no pressure just options. He did try and sell those wonderful Cornscalas he built and I want them so much but no room lolGreat guy, great gear.

Don was a pleasure to work with. I purchased a Velodyne HGS18BG from outside of state and he was willing to bring my massive 105LBS SUBWOOFER to a UPS shipping store. I couldnt be happier! Everything was flawless. From the excellent condition of the speaker to the excellent communication Don had with me along the whole way up until even now a month later he has been there to make sure everything worked out. Thanks Don for everything. Who ever has the pleasure of meeting or working with Don you wont be disappointed! Thanks again.Josh

If you are looking for some quality hifi gear in northern CO, knowledgeable advice, and zero pressure, FCA is the place. I ran across Don at FCA when looking for a pair of KEF LS50’s and he was very helpful in offering me flexible listening options and providing advice/opinions when requested. I ended up with a pair of R500’s instead and some new speaker cables and am very happy with both the product and the experience. I am definitely looking forward to hearing some of the new Parasound equipment he is getting in……probably time to complete my upgrades with a new amp!! FCA is Highly Recommended!!
