History
Established in 1972.
Walt Stinson and Steven Weiner founded ListenUp with one purpose: to provide the very best in sound reproduction. Over the years that goal has expanded to include categories such as high-definition video and control systems.
Longtime Denver residents may remember that in the ‘70s, ListenUp created the sound system and did live radio broadcasts for Ebbets Field, the legendary nightclub. A few years later the company created a state-of-the-art sound system and recording set-up at the Rainbow Music Hall.
An early adopter of digital technology, ListenUp sold the most CD players in the country for 1983, and for several years the company also offered the broadest selection of discs in the country, which further hastened acceptance of the then revolutionary technology.
In 2005, ListenUp created a Reference Theater that was the subject of a cover story by Home Theater magazine. In 2009, ListenUp co-founder Walt Stinson was inducted into the Consumer Electronics Hall of Fame.
Meet the Manager
Bob M.
Manager
As someone from a state just slightly larger than a good sized amplifier, it’s only natural that Rhode Island native Bob Murphy would end up in the audio/video biz. After working in an audio store and then as a manufacturer’s rep for several years, Bob joined the ListenUp staff in 1981 and was instrumental in opening the Boulder store. He subsequently moved to the Denver location in the mid-eighties and helped start the video division, which specialized in laser discs, front projectors and surround sound — all before the term «home theater» had even been coined.
Bob came back to the Boulder store in 1990 as the store manager and has been so ever since. «The industry continues to be fun and interesting to me. I enjoy coming to work every day — it’s fun to face new challenges, and to stay ahead of the latest technologies.» And all while living in the wide open spaces…
