"HTD customer support always just blows me away. If I think of the top
3 customer service experiences in my lifetime, you guys are right
there. You were great 5 years ago in our other home. With a cross
country move and Covid, we are just now ready to renovate and HTD
customer support is still great. Love you guys"

"I purchased a
Lync system for a home
that I was building. Scott (Customer Support Rep) walked me through my
best options and went over my plan with me. These guys were nothing
but accommodating and patient with me during my install and setup. I
went without the LyncTouch pads and only use the app, which is great
for me and my kids. Now that we have settled in, I plan on installing
a couple LyncTouch pads in discrete areas of the house nearby the
kitchen and lanai. Will be purchasing more speakers from HTD in the
near future to fill the remaining channels!"

"[from customer survey]...HTD again responded very quickly which is
what I've come to expect...all the reps I've ever dealt with have been
great...I think HTD is great. That's why I recently bought another 6
pairs of speakers, a few volume controls, 100' of stereo wire, and
another multichannel amp. I will buy another amp and another 250' of
stereo wire before the end of May."

reply, and the plans and the (very) detailed estimate were fantastic.
He had some great ideas I hadn't thought of, and really did a great
job of laying everything out. I'm hoping to make my purchase soon
(house construction hasn't started yet), and I'm glad I reached out

tech-y person and they helped me order and setup my home audio system.
Every time I had to call for help they knew exactly who I was and what
equipment I was working on and went above and beyond to help me. I
love my system and the support. Thanks HTD!"

"Have had these (
HDX-W80) in my house when it was built 7 years ago ( 27 total ) and thought
I would review them now! Great speakers with clarity and bass and
they're underpowered! When the entire house is playing it's
unbelievable! When the basement is finished I will be adding more for
sure."

"Outstanding system (
MCA-66 Set with KC7 Keypads) to replace my NUVO system. When I built my home about 10 years ago,
I installed a NUVO system. Several keypads lighting stopped working.
So, I found HTD on the internet. So glad I did. They were easy to
install. They're great!"

"I would give this company 10 stars if I could. Their products are top
quality but their customer service is the best I have ever dealt with.
I dont have a lot of knowledge about electronics and when I call (even
after years of having bought the product) they walk me through any
issues I have without condescending attitudes and in clear English.
Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"About four years ago I purchased my first HTD speakers, a level THREE
five channel setup, for a den. My wife and I are both kind of audio
nerds so we were directly comparing it to a Polk Tsx series five
channel setup, and our (then) pride and joy living room setup of KEF
Q700 towers with center and Q300 rears. I assumed the KEFs would
remain on top as far as critical listening goes, and for a while they
did, but I'm sure reading this review you know where I'm going. If
this review is too verbose buy the Level THREE speakers, they are
amazing . . . these are packaged very well; outer box with a padded
inner box. All speakers come in large cloth 'socks' that prevent
microscratching. They even come with gloves to wear during positioning
if you are so inclined! I have veneered and restored some speakers as
a hobby, the HTD Level THREE ebony veneer is nicer than anything I am
capable of, way nicer than the KEF's veneer, light years better than
Polk's faux wood, even nicer than Polk's nicer offerings from the 80's
(Monitor Series 9). Four posts in back for bi wiring, Q700s had that,
the 750's they sell now don't. So big win for HTD in terms of
craftsmanship. When I first got my Level THREE towers I put them right
where I put the Q700's . . . I thought nothing could top KEF for
imaging and clarity, and out of the box the Level THREE Towers crushed
that expectation. The midrange dome on the Level THREE speakers
ensures that nothing is lost or recessed in the 2khz range . . . My
receiver (Marantz 8012) was bi-wired and a menu setting was switched
from 'small' to 'large', and the bass was there, Tight, accurate, and
extends down to at least 60hz . . . Recently we added the HTD branded
2 channel amp (
DA-2125), with HTD's own bi-wire cable . . . We chopped up the cables,
applied heat shrink and banana plugs, put a record on, and our minds
were blown. As an audio nerd a moment of pure satisfaction is rare.
These speakers have me at a point where I can't think of anything
better for less than 6k."

"I've been wanting to purchase this for a long time. Finally bit the
bullet and I am glad I did. Perfect for my exsiting wired speaker
system. Works great with Alexa and other music streamers. App is super
easy to use - has all the functions and settings. Even my wife who is
not a tech person can use it. Support is amazing! Brian got back to me
within minutes on a Sunday night. Can't beat that, highly recommned
this system."

"I went to Best Buy to purchase a whole home audio system and was
quoted on a system using Sonos Ports at $450.00 each. Since we set up
a six zone system this portion of the audio system was $2,700.00 as
each zone requires its own Port. I stumbled onto HTD online and talked
to Mike regarding my needs and he suggested an
MC66 controller. We love the product and it does exactly what we wanted it to do at
a fraction of the cost."
Joe C.
Volo, IL
"Love this product (
MCA-66). HTD is awesome! Their service department is the best. They took
care of my issues and setup questions immediately. Often times you
have companies that have great products but their service is lacking.
HTD has both. In these crazy times, it is truly refreshing!"

Fantastic center channel
at any price!!! The ribbon tweeter is smooth as silk, and dialogue is
clear as a bell. Hooked to Denons' new top of the line receiver, my
systems' 13 speakers, which includes twin 3,000 watt Sunfire subs, can
rip the house down while the HTD center sings loud, clear and
distortion free. Oh - and did I say its beautiful with its Macassar
cabinet? Highly recommended!! Everything to love at a value driven
price. Thanks HTD!"

"I have a
Lync whole house audio system. I can't say enough about how well HTD works. I consider myself a
handy man - not a techie. The system was easy to install, it has many
great features (can be controlled with my phone, connects to door
bell, expandable). So I thought I should extend the system to my
garage. The blue tooth input panel plugged into my garage Lync pad
allows me to play my Android phone music through the garage speaks
connected to the HTD system. It is so easy to start music playing."

"Great experience and great speakers / sound. Mike (our sales rep) was
awesome, and provided expert guidance in assisting with the design,
placement and optimal installation of our surround sound system. His
advice on both the speakers as well as other A/V equipment that was
being purchased elsewhere made sure we didnt have major unforeseen
issues and led to an amazing sounding surround in a new addition."
Ben M.
Tampa, FL
"It has been a 12 month process from when I decided on HTD and started
working with Mike on my building plans. They have been there every
step of the way and I never once regretted working with them. They
helped me through the design, rough-in, and final install steps. I'm
not a professional but took on all the low voltage aspects and am very
happy I did so. Without having the wiring plans they sent me, I'm sure
I would have messed something up, but it all turned out great.
Products are great but the service is outstanding!"
Tyler J.
Meridian, ID
"The
bookshelf and center speakers
arrived a few days before my sub (purchased through a different
vendor) so I had a chance to try these out solo with my bass-heavy
music, video games and some movies. I was blown away with the clarity
of dialogue in films as well as these speakers' capability to really
deliver on the low end. I only wish I had an excuse to buy more
equipment at the moment, but if my space ever gets bigger and I have
the room there is no one else getting my money. Great value!"

"My family loves the Amazon Echo and flatly refuses to learn how to
use anything more complicated for playing music. I love having
multi-room music played through good quality speakers from a variety
of sources but I also like the personal assistant, home control, and
communications features of the Echo. For years I have been trying to
marry Echos with multi-room systems such as Sonos and others but the
integrations were always kludgy and missing key features. Now with the
DMA-1240ADS
I have a system that gives me the best of both worlds! I have Echo
Spots or Echo Show 5s in all of the rooms wired for music but these
features are not supported in the integration solutions offered by
Sonos and others and I had to revert back to the lower fidelity
speakers built in to the Echos to use them. Now I have the output of
each echo feeding back to the voice assistant inputs on my DMA-1240ADS
and I have all of the native features of the Echo Shows playing though
my high grade speakers and it sounds awesome. Even asking Alexa for
the news or weather sounds great! I also get to keep all of my legacy
sources from Sonos to turntable to Squeezebox and even cassette and
they are all available in every room. And when I stream something
through Sonos (for example) I can still ask Alexa a question and she
will answer and then the music stream will resume. I get full Alexa
features regardless of my music source! And best of all there was zero
learning curve for the family... they use Alexa the way they always
have, she just sounds much much better! One other great bonus is the
"Override" input. This is meant for use with an alarm panel or Home
Automation system but it can also be used to play a music source
during a party where you don't want people playing with the local
voice assistants."

"I've owned over a dozen center channels. Many were very expensive and
reputable high end brands (Magnepan, Martin Logan, Legacy, etc). A
couple cost almost 10X what this one costs and I actually prefer the
HTD. Just a bit cleaner on the top end and more balanced."

"Just keep doing what you do. In this day and age it is rare to find a

"I bought
these speakers
a few years ago. I have them mounted within my gazebo. I am very happy

"This was exactly what I needed to replace my previous Elan
controller/amplifier (which, as a homeowner, I could not program
myself) in order to control my in-ceiling speakers across five zones.
The beauty of it was that all i really needed was a music streamer for
each zone (actually, i combined three of the zones), so I used this
product in conjunction with three Echo Dots (as video streamers) and
another three echo products to do voice control. The system was very
easy to install and sounds great - and completely controlled by voice!
I'm really happy...."

"This product (
Mount Kit for Amazon Echo Dot) was easy to install, attached very nicely to the cat5 cable I had
pre-wired in my ceiling and blends in nicely with the grills on my HTD

to buy more and install one in each room."
Marc

"Just finished working with HTD to design and install a system that

"I am consistently thrilled by HTD's products and service. I thought
this might end up being too difficult to install, but the HTD team
patiently answered my questions, and I was able to replace a
proprietary URC whole home system with
this one. DIY is the way to go. If you don't DIY, then you will pay through
the nose to an installer every time you need something done."

College Grove, TN
"Fantastic and feature-rich product at a tremendous value I am a DIY
homeowner and spent many, many hours researching whole house audio
solutions that would be both feature-rich and high-value. Originally,
I was very skeptical of finding something that met both criteria. I
found HTD and that concern was immediately debunked. They had products
that exactly met my needs at a cost/value that is second to none. I am
using two
MC-66 multi-zone controllers
in tandem to provide a total of 12 zones in our home. I couldn't
justify spending the extra money on the Lync 12 and didn't need the
additional functionality it offered. The Valet software UI is very
intuitive and user-friendly. Originally, I was a little concerned
about switching between two panels (one panel per MC-66) but found it
is a very simple and painless process to switch between panels and the
Valet UI ultimately feels like one unified system."

"This is the second complete set of
level 3 speakers I have
bought from HTD - tower, center and subwoofer. My last set I sold with
my theater set up in my last home. The sound quality of these speakers
is so phenomenal that i wouldn't consider anything else. Absolutely
incomparable sound. I also have 4
HTD HD-R80 High Definition In-Ceiling Speakers
for surround. My whole house sound consists of an additional 16 HD-R80
High Definition In-Ceiling Speakers in six zones with Lync 6. My last
house had 12 zones, 2 subzones and 38 speakers."
Bob
The Villages, FL
“I've been in audio all my life and have listened to and owned some
pretty impressive speakers over the years. These
level 3 towers out
perform in every aspect speakers that cost 3 and 4 times the money.
The quality and attention to detail of the cabinets is only outshined
by the incredible sound quality. The natural sound and ability to
reproduce even the most complex recordings with accuracy, bold dynamic
range, yet so smooth. Full soundstage, great imaging. My opinion? Buy
them. The best speakers I've owned. "
Alvin S.
East Peoria, IL
“I purchased two systems with keypads,
(1) MC66 - house system & (1) MCA66
- outside/shop system, back in Jan. 2014 before the house we were
building was finished. Before I ordered the system, I sent my house
plans to HTD and told them what I was looking to do and we came up
with a system set up that met my needs. I waited to write this review
because I wanted to see how the systems would perform over time. -
3-1/2 years of use so far and no problems. We use systems every day
for hours (listening to it right now as I type this review) - Valet
system (didn't have when I bought systems) works flawlessly and is an
awesome addition. - When I buy things I want the best bang for my
buck...Needless to say I feel that I made a great decision going with
the HTD system. Price was great and system works great! Would not
hesitate to do it all over again.
HTD customer service is
great. From planning the system, to answering any questions I had
during installation and beyond, these folks were awesome. I get the
impression, when I talk to them, that they are not just trying to sell
you something so they can make a profit, they truly care about you and
you being satisfied with their products."

"I am in the process of finishing a basement and was scouring the
internet for the best in wall speakers that wouldn't break the bank. I
came across recommendations to use HTD on a number of audiophile
forums, but was still very skeptical of a company that I had never
heard of. I decided to take a chance and it has paid off ten-fold. The
price was a fraction of what I would pay for similar speakers from
other brands, they had incredible options and shipped my order within
24 hours. I decided on a 7.1 system from their HD line.
In
an effort to be overly perfectionist, I did 5 aimed speakers and 2
straight firing speakers. However, when installing them, I had a
momentary lapse of intelligence and used the cutout template from the
aim speakers for the straight firing speakers, leaving a hole much too
large for the smaller straight firing speakers. In a panic, I sent an
email to their support, who responded within the hour with not just
some simplistic, automated response, but with a lengthy email
including a number of options ranging from creative drywall solutions
to returning the smaller speakers no questions asked and replacing
them with either a larger straight firing speaker or the aim speaker,
both of which used the cutout size that I had mistakenly made.
We
corresponded a number of times, with each of my emails being replied
to promptly and thoroughly. I have several other products that I am
dealing with customer service for problems with their product
currently. Some are large companies and some small, but each has been
wholly unsatisfactory in dealing with a problem of their own creation
for months. John at HTD went above and beyond in dealing with a
problem of MY creation and solving it.
The speakers sound
amazing with clean, clear sound and look beautiful installed. Bottom
line, come for the speakers, stay for the service."

“
This is

"My brother referred me to HTD, he has a house full of the
stuff...listening to my brother's setup sold me. I love the finish

great as well. I was surprised by the excellent blending of the
crossover, as well as the deep bass coming from them. I can't believe
the great sound!"
Scott D.

"Installed
these
with great ease into our home theatre. I read and researched countless

“Have had at least a half dozen subwoofers. Some were inexpensive, one
retail for a couple thousand bucks. It had more power but
my new sub goes deeper

of the workmanship on this sub and at a reasonable price.”
Roger B.

“I use
these speakers as my

“I purchased
these to replace my 15 year
old 5.1 speaker set up. Considered the name brands out there but

me to give it a try. I am truly amazed by the build quality, audio
clarity and definition.”

"I did a lot of researches and came across a couple threads mentioning
HTD so I went to their website and looked around. I found the
Lync system
and fell in love with its functions. I was looking for a WHA system
with built in intercom, and HTD provided the Lync system with that
feature, plus more! I want to mention that I had not purchased
anything from HTD when I contacted Scott (customer service rep) and
uploaded my house plan; but he promptly responsed to my emails and
answered/gave suggestion to all of my concerns-best service ever! Set
up of the system is straight forward, audio is awesome, the Lynpads
are the best! I love the design, simple to use, easy to control but
attractive to look at."
Phong H.

"Looked around in Australia, nothing compared to the value and

"I installed
these 8 inch ceiling mount speakers

"We used this equipment (
HTD Cabinet and Inwall/In-Ceiling Speakers) for home theater. The clarity, dynamics and the entire feel of the
sound is so much more impressive than any theater I've attended... It
has genuinely made the entire movie experience better!! Your products
are easy to install, robust and perform! I was so impressed by the
built in crossovers in all the speakers. The cost is a great value and
all my future audio and home theater needs that you can provide are
yours. The other day we weren't sure if a thunderstorm had rolled in
or one of the kids was watching a movie. That's powerful!"
Kevin S.
McKinney, TX
"I purchased a pack of three dark cherry
Level TWO center channels, and they are an incredible value. They easily outperform much more
expensive speakers. We bought these to replace an old home theater in
a box setup that was impossible to hear in our acoustic nightmare of a
living room (high ceilings, open all the way through the dining room
to the kitchen). What a difference these speakers made! I have to
share my wife's reaction. She was panicking about the size of these
speakers when they first arrived. While she was pacing the house, I
unboxed the speakers and hooked them up. Without changing any of the
crossover or distance settings on my receiver, I put in a Star Wars
Blu-ray and started the Duel of the Fates scene. After about 30
seconds, I can tell my wife is holding back a smile. I look at her and
she says, "these things are so huge! But they do sound better."
Another minute, another smirk. "These sound pretty good, but they are
so big." A few more minutes: "OK, these sound really good." Thanks
HTD. For once, I won an argument with my wife without saying a word!"
Andrew L.
Gainesville, FL
"We recently had a large family reunion, where we were playing the
whole house audio over the HTDNET-MC. As the party progressed, the
center of attention shifted to the iPad and the whole house audio
system. Everyone was having fun switching from genre to genre on
Pandora, all from the outside patio table. And to top it off, my wife
controlled a game of musical chairs from the HTDNET-MC. What fun we
had."
Jim B.
Sunol, CA
"Crazy rigid design with fantastic resolution! I love my
center channel now!!! I
really feel that the tweeter location being up higher on the baffle in
a T W/W design is contributing to the amazing sound. Awesome and worth
triple the cost for me and the sound benefits I receive."
Brian H.

"I replaced a pair of ceiling mounted speakers with a pair of the

these speakers
outside and unprotected for two blazing hot summers with year round

"I did A LOT of research into different systems out there for my WHA

is an exception. I'm writing this after using
the product
for the past 8 months. And I use it often. The unit can use up to 6
sources but I mostly just use the one I have an airport express
plugged into so that I can AirPlay music. Works very well. Now after
using it for the past months, I am very pleased. I honestly have no
complaints...I'm installing another in my friends house under
construction in a few months. So HTD, expect another order soon."

"Modest HTD undersells this great product. We have a 6 zone, four sub
zone system we installed ourselves in our newly-built home...(
this system).. blew me away. Plugged in, hit the link on my iPhone and bam it
worked right away. You can control everything from anywhere. how could
you have a home system without it?? Super cool."
David M.
Canton, MA
"I am not a do-it-yourself kind of guy so I planned on hiring a
company to install a whole house audio system...I discovered HTD.com
while researching Cost/Specs/Features of the various systems I was
being offered. Not only were HTD products comparable or better in a
line by line comparison of Cost/Specs/Features, but their excellent
Manuals, FAQ, and Support gave me the confidence to design and install
a system myself. I couldn't be happier with the results. It sounds
absolutely incredible...So, the point of this review is to let you
know that, if you are considering a whole house audio system and you
have stumbled across HTD.com, you can proceed with complete
confidence. The product quality is first rate and the Customer Service
is outstanding. Furthermore, you will end up with way more system at
way less the cost. You have found the Holy Grail of whole house
audio."

"I ordered/installed 3
HD-W65
and 2
HD-R65
in May 2010 and could not have been more pleased with the purchase.
The sound is excellent,...set up was a breaze, ...and the price was
terrific. Have recommended these speakers to all my friends -
actually, I take that back. I didn't have to recommend them because
everybody always asks me about them. Three years later and the
speakers still sell themselves due to their outstanding appearance and
performance."
Scott K.
Wilmington, DE
"I received outstanding customer service from the time I requested a
design plan online to several follow-up phone calls to confirm some
specifics about my setup / configuration. The shipping department even
caught a mistake I made entering the number of products I ordered
since the install brackets and speakers weren't paired exactly - saved
me time and aggravation. I can't say enough positive things about my
end to end sales experience."
Timothy D.
Northbridge, MA
"
The control panel
is simple and great for a family with kids and a wife that is not tec
savey. I had my IT team put
this system
in and they said that they could not have bought a comprable system
for this price on the comercial wholesale market."
Mike S.
Atlanta, GA
"I have become a very big fan of HTD. I have purchased in wall
speakers for the home theater, a center channel speaker, a whole house
audio system, ceiling speakers and now outdoor speakers. I have never
been disappointed. I have recommended HTD to all my friends and anyone
else who comes by the house..."
Terry V.
Elk Grove Village, IL
"HTD is the best. Purchased
this system
and highly pleased with my purchase. Running ceiling speakers to 5
rooms and the sound is amazing. My wife loves it. She has already
began entertaining family and friends. Everyone loves the sound.
Customer service is top notch. They will walk you through every step
if you need them to do so."
Michael C.

"I can't say enough about HTD. Fantastic service and fantastic
products. I have sent many friends and family their way. I just
replaced an old set of Boston Acoustic's with a new set of
Level 3's and the
difference is remarkable. The sound in our living room is fantastic
and now we have our entire home decked out with HTD speakers (living,
master, patio, media room)."
John L.
Frisco, TX
“
These (HD-W65)
are amazing. I've owned many different whole systems and I cannot
fault these (or any) of the speakers from HTD. I've tried nearly all
the speakers and all are flawless.”
Mike S.
St. John's, NL
“This company Rocks! They have awesome products and unbelievable
support. I purchased a whole-house sound system with 22 speakers and
seriously saved thousands of dollars for great quality...I would (and
have) recommended this company to several friends, family, and
co-workers. When it comes to "under-promise, over-perform", Home
Theater Direct could be the poster child.”
Bob S.
Mesa, AZ
“Built new house, prewired for sound in master bath, study, surround
sound. Installed a pair of
these speakers
in each location. The sound is really good...nice warm bass,
exceptional midrange and top notch highs. If we decide to add speakers
to other rooms, these will definitely be my choice!!!!!”
Robert S.
Houston, TX
"I currently have 3 other surround systems in my home, (2) Polk and
(1) Bose. The system I purchased from HTD cost the least and sounds
the best. I am a contractor who has installed countless systems. HTD
speakers are well built and easy to install, right down to the
connectors. My next house will have them through-out."
Chris S.
Brevard, NC
“I usually never rave about any products. But this one (
MC66SET-KC7) is absolutely 100 percent what I've been dreaming of the last many
years. I did a lot of research and was amazed by the variety of
options available ranging up to several tens of thousands dollars. I
was almost going to scrap on the idea, but then came across HTD, The
mid-level system was well under my budget, but with excellent reviews
and honest support, I went ahead and bought it. First installed the
speakers on the ceiling (the speakers are so easy to install and the
instructions are dumb-proof) then I terminated the cat-5 and installed
the wall units (Keypads) this was even easier with the snap-in plates,
also looked so precise and elegant on the wall. Speakers sounded
unreal. Believe me, I have speakercraft 7.2 in my living room and
these speakers (
HD-R80) were absolutely comparable with that. They looked fantastic on the
ceiling too. I have big rooms so I went for the big speakers (
HD-R80), it was well worth it. Connecting the amplifier and controller was
easy, I connected the 2nd zone from my Onkyo to one of the input set
up on the FM and then I connected my Apple Airport Express's output to
another input on the controller. It was so much fun to put any music
that we play on iPad or iPhone or iTunes by sending (Air Play) it to
Airport express and then to the HTD system. Guys.... this is one
'LETHAL COMBINATION' Apple Airport Express with HTD Mid-Level. You DO
NOT NEED any other inputs. Your iPhone works as a remote using
'Air-Play'. I was never happier. I had a couple of questions and the
tech support responded right away with the solution that worked first
time. The whole deal is double packaged, speakers are taken care of so
nicely that one would have to be a neat-freak to pack like that. Love
you guys.”
Satyen N.
East Brunswick, NJ
“Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! I have always said one day I will own a full HTD
Level Three system, Thanks to the awesome HTD Customer Service and my
savings account, this customer is one VERY happy man, these Speakers
are first class and not only do you hear them, you can feel them -
Tonight I watched a concert in my theater and WOW the bottom line you
get what you pay for every penny was worth it.”
Bud K.
Sacramento, CA
“Outstanding! I have been searching for months for a speaker setup to
upgrade to.. I was looking into Polk, Def. Tech, and Monitors..A
member on Blu-ray.com suggested i should look into HTD products so i
started my research and had zero regrets from the start! I absolutely
love my
Series 3 Floorstanding speakers, watching movies has never been better.. 800 bucks for this pair is
a steal with the features they are giving you.. I have been
recommending these speakers to everybody looking to upgrade for Movies
and Music.”
Chris N.
Long Island, NY
"…I wanted good sound with a clean look so I ordered a pair of these
(
MP-W50) for the rear surrounds. I figured if they sounded good I would then
purchase the fronts and a center channel. They sound so much better
than the satellites I had and they sound better than I expected them
to sound. Installation was very easy. I will be ordering more in wall
speakers to complete the set."
Sidney
Southhampton, PA
"I needed an upgrade for my center channel and wanted to give the
ribbon tweeter a try. At first I was impressed with the clarity, the
projected image and range but after a day spent in a higher end audio
store, I now see what it's capable of. This speaker (
Level Three Center Channel Speaker) puts higher end (and more expensive) brands to shame. Now that I
know what one speaker is capable of, I'm saving up more to find out
what a more complete package can do. This is going to be fun.”
Ehren H.
Thief River Falls, MN
"I bought this unit (MA-1235) in 2006 when building my house to power
all speakers throughout. I have been impressed with the unit since
initial install. It allows users to easily configure each output as
mono or stereo so each room sounds perfect even if only one speaker
has been installed. I would highly recommend it as it's been running
almost nonstop for close to 5 years."
Myke
Seattle, WA
"I've owned HTD Level (TWO) 7.1 system for awhile now, but we moved
and my new room wouldn't allow me to use the surround speakers
effectively. So I emaild HTD and they recommended these in wall (
HD-W65). I wasn't too sure how they would sound so I was a bit skeptical.
Glad I got them! They sound great!! They were easy to install and look
very nice, not to mention the wife is very pleased too. Thanks HTD!!!"
Tony
Bartlett, IL
"I received the speakers three days after I ordered them. I replaced a
pair of existing wall mounted front speakers in my home theater. The
install was a snap. The quality and sound are fantastic! I would
definately recommend these speakers to anyone."
Denny G.
Cumming, GA
"For the money, I challenge you to find a better deal. The sound for
these speakers is great. I have these as my surrounds and rear
surrounds in my 7.1 system and couldn't feel better about the
purchase. Thanks HTD!"

"Product came in on time and as promised! The customer service was
excellent from order, shipping, invoicing, and delivery. All steps
were done so the customer was always aware of when, where, and how the
product is getting to your doorstep...I asked lots of questions and
they had answers! They provided me with a product that will last for
years to come. HTD did not try to over-sell their products. They
recommended the correct amount of wire and when installed looks
awesome."
Glenn
Newhall, CA
"The instructions were great, and installation was a snap. The
speakers sound amazing--I am very happy I didn't spend three times as
much money[...]. I can't imagine my home theater sounding any better
than it does!"
Dan
Pooler, GA
"The Level Two speakers are perfect. The sound they produce is top
notch. The biggest surprise about HTD speakers is how beautiful they
are! The pictures on your web site do not do them justice. I ordered
the dark cherry finish which is absolutely gorgeous. They look like
they should cost much more than they do. You now have another lifetime
customer. I will definitely recommend HTD to my friends."
Jay F.
Centerville, OH
"I called the customer service number and to my amazment I got a live
body, Scott, who was able to answer all my questions take my order and
follow it up with a tracking number. My speakers arrived in Ajax
Canada in a week as promised, and I have just hooked them up. All my
friends are totally amazed by the sound quality and the price. Thanks
for the amazing customer service, a rarity in todays world. HTD be
prepared to get a few more orders from your neighbors up North."
David N.
Ajax, ON, CA
"I have been in the customer service business for over 31 years and
one of your support reps, Chris, was by far the absolute BEST. No task
was too daunting; no question too stupid or repetitive. Chris always
dealt with me in the most professional manner possible. From our first
conversation, he guided me through the design, selection and install
of a robust and outstanding full home AV system. Every step of the
way, HTD was there to walk me through the process and made me feel as
part of the HTD team.
I am now the proud owner of a
fantastic AV system that works flawlessly; my wife loves the system as
well as our guests. From customer service to product performance, my
HTD experience has been exceptional. HTD has exceeded our
expectations, provided us with a system that rivals the top in the
industry, without the sticker shock associated with a system of this
quality. Thank you HTD for your support and mentorship, especially to
Chris."
Parker and Ana B.
Shalimar, FL
"Exceptional quality, fast shipping, great customer support. It may
seem hard to buy speakers without listening to them first, but after
getting them hooked up and hearing them it was the best decision. Very
cost effective, too often overlooked by other manufacturers with big
ad budgets. These guys put their money where it counts: building and
selling great products."
Mark R.
Mukilteo, WA
"Just a note to say how pleased we are with the home audio system. The
speakers have excellent quality; it seems almost as if a live
performance. We listened to CD's all day while working on the house.
Picture 22 speakers cranked up to about 70; can you hear me now?"
Steve G.
St. Helens, OR
"I just received my order and want to say thank you for the prompt
service and great products you sell. I'm excited for a product that
has received wonderful reviews from customers and professional critics
without selling the hype and very large prices that go with big name
stuff. I look forward to doing business with you for many years to
come."
Tim K.
Billings, MT
"The sound quality on every speaker far exceeded my expectations.
People come over to my house and can't believe the sound quality at
the price I paid. HTD is patient when you call with any question and
the multi year warranty is huge plus for me. I know if I have any
issues, they will be there to help. Highly recommend HTD!!!!"
John H.

"IMPRESSIVE!!! You guys are awesome! From the moment I found your

"HTD is one of the rare companies I have continued to purchase from
over the years. My first purchase was for level two bookshelf
speakers, subwoofer, and a center channel back when your company
started working direct with consumers. I was amazed at the value, and
quality. My second purchase was for your in wall speakers when I
purchased a condo. I then purchased a complete level one system to
give away as a gift to a young friend. When I bought my dream house
last October I once again purchased your in wall speakers for
throughout the house, and a flat panel center channel for the mantle
to be placed under my new plasma. Once again I was completely
satisfied! This Spring we are completing a deck outside, and I just
purchased a set of your Q-65 outdoor speakers. HTD does a great job,
and the best part is the service, and quality you get for the price,
it far exceeds anything you get at most retail audio stores.
I
never hesitate to turn my friends on to HTD, and all that have
purchased have been completely satisfied!"
John B.
Hawthorn Woods, IL
"Very very happy with the service and the product. Customer service is
the best I have ever dealt with. Simply outstanding. They have made me
a customer for life!"
Keith S.
Wauke, IA
"This is the second time I have ordered from them, the first was about
5 years ago. The in-wall speakers are even better than 5 years ago.
Don't waste your money on the likes of other name brands, these
speakers blow them away in quality and performance at less than half
the price. Thank you HTD! Truly appreciate your helpful service and
products."

"I purchased 2 pair of 8" ceiling speakers and 1 - 6 1/2" speaker for
a center channel speaker. The sound is incredible!!!! I would
recommend these speakers to anyone. These speakers are one of the best
electronic investments I have made."
Michael M.
Leesburg, VA
"I recently purchased In-Ceiling speakers for my family room, patio
and master bedroom. In addition, I purchased a Level 3 Sub and a Panel
Speaker for a Center Channel in the family room to make a complete 5.1
surround system. I had some questions and frankly some concerns about
buying so much without hearing them first, but the person I spoke with
was so knowledgeable that I went ahead and placed my order over the
phone. Everything arrived as promised and in great condition. I was
surprised just how easy it was to install the in-ceiling speakers. But
the best part is all of the speakers sound FANTASTIC!!! I am extermely
pleased with HTD and will definitely use them again."
Michael S.
Mesa, AZ
"I bought from HTD 3+ years ago. Was happy then and am now. They
continue to introduce new products. I just moved to new house... time

value."
Edward B.

"I located HTD with a web search for ceiling speakers, and found a
product I thought would meet my needs, but had questions. With a phone
call, I got a helpful and knowledgeable response to my questions, as
well as some good suggestions. I placed my order and received the
product a day later. I received a far superior product than I'd seen
in the electronics stores, at a way better price. The personal contact
sealed the deal. I'd recommend HTD to anyone."
George M.
Ft. Worth, TX
"I highly reccomend HTD if you are looking at high-end home theater
equipment. If you are looking at home theater in a box systems, save
yourself some money and look at HTD. The speakers I purchased sound
like they should cost 2-3 times as much. I'm absolutely satisfied with
the company, people and products."
Greg J.

Brian F.

"I cannot say enough about HTD. It is my second purchase and I am
already making plans for more. The amp works beautifully, and the
outdoor speakers sound fantastic, I am blown away by their sound. Your
warranty is great and so far, customer support on the phone has also
been great. Keep up the good work. It is nice to actually find a
company that cares about the products it sells and the people it sells
to. Thank you."
Keith W.
Enfield, CT
"Everyone I spoke with at Home Theater Direct was courteous and
knowledgeable. I had to call with a few technical questions and they
responded quickly. The packages arrived double-boxed, which ensured
that the speakers were in perfect condition. The quality of the
speaker construction is spectacular, and the sound quality is even
better. These speakers are far superior to anything you can buy at a
local electronics store. Thanks for a great product at a great price!"
Brian F.
Knoxville, TN
"Superb product, price, performance, and quality of construction. For
the price, these speakers cannot be beat."
John R.
Comstock Park, MI
"Everything was good, but the amount of time they were willing to
spend on the phone with me working through any issue I encountered was
extraordinary. I believe I just received the kind of customer service
my father used to tell me died in the 50s. I just wish they sold more
than audio equipment."
Rich A.
Mamaroneck, NY
"I was very pleased with the speakers that I purchased from HTD. The
quality of the speakers is high and the price was outstanding. I will

Bryan M.
Clarendon Hills, IL
"I purchased the Level TWO subwoofer and one set of Level TWO main
speakers to replace 12 year old Morel speakers. The Morels were state
of the art when I bought them, but I find I like the Level TWO system
even more. Setting up the sub for best sound with the main speakers
turned out to be easy. Excellent sound! I'm very pleased!"
Wallace E.
Midlothian, VI

Craig H.
Houston, TX

service, I was recommending people go to your site to get their
speakers and now I have even more reason to send business your way.
Outstanding!"
Robert L.
Garner, NC
"I just received my first pair of Level ONE speakers in white. I took
a chance to see if $39/pair speakers would cut it. I did not expect
much for that price, but they are now installed on my deck and they
sound just GREAT! What a bargain! I will be recommending them and the
other HTD speakers to my friends."

is amazing. It performs well beyond my expectations for surround
sound. This is such an inexpensive set that I wasn't expecting much.

as well. Customer service was quite helpful with the questions that I
sent via e-mail. When it comes time to upgrade, I won't hesitate to

"I listened to a lot of in-walls since my wife won't allow anything on
the floor. I finally settled on PSB 6X6.1 at $750/pair. I tried Home
Theater Direct in-wall speakers [AL-W80] and they are surprisingly
good. They are so close to the PSB that I am using them as surrounds
since they both had aluminum dome tweeters. The money I'm saving is
going into buying an SVS sub."

time to explain concepts and products well, and their follow-through

there."

beautiful(cherry), and the sound is.. *WOW!*. I expect my friends will
be ordering from HTD as soon as they hear them."
Teddy P.

"The best speakers (level 3 towers) under 1 grand, easily! Equals many
costing up to 1500-2000 per pair. Outstanding bang for the buck, many
kudos, nice job. Service is top notch, honest, quick, outstanding.
Impressed from start to finish and I am still ordering more! Keep up
the awesome job, highly recommended!!!!."
Alan S.

"HTD is a first-rate company. The guys there are very pleasant to deal
with. This was like my 4th trip to their Headquarters in Allen, TX, to
demo and pickup my orders, and they've been extremely helpful pleasant
to deal with each time. I've now ordered (either for myself or for
friends) a set of Level 3s, 2 Level 2 bookshelves and a center, as
well as a pair of Level 2 outdoors. They all have been great and are
worth every penny and more :) I'll be looking to purchase more stuff
from HTD in the future."

"They are Fantastic, they were very knowledgeable about their products
and they were nice enough to walk me through the wiring of my
speakers. A+"
Raymond L.

"Received my order, just as scheduled. Could not have been any easier.
Speakers look and sound great. Will be ordering again, I am sure of
that. I had been referred to this site from my friend in the
neighborhood, and I have already referred somebody else, and will
certainly refer again."

"The merchandise came complete and is very high quality for the price.
I could not be happier."
Tim I.

"The service was excellent. I had reason to call the toll free service
number for some advice. I was given the help I needed for inwall
speaker installation plus a lot of information on placement, wiring,
and almost everything else I could think of. the young man I talked to
was so helpful, that I purchased two more for rear speakers. although
I have not finished the install in a new house, I will be calling back
to let them know how it went. I'll ask for him by name. You know who
you are- thanks guy!"
Clayton H.

"Ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. Installation was very easy
and the sound is great. A true value."

"Better product than I expected...At a fraction of the cost compared
to the over-priced competition."

"Telephone consultation re:speaker placement was more helpful then the
attention I've gotten in local NYC stores, and the prices were great."
Steve Z.

"Their on-line ordering is among the best I have ever encountered.
Excellent interface and feedback, including their interface with UPS.
I'll definitely order again when my wife lets me spend some more
money!!"

"The entire process was a great experience. The co-operation,
selection assistance, ordering, timely delivery and after sale
assistance. I wish all my transactions went that smoothly."
Thomas F.
Glendale, WI
"I wasn't sure if the pricing was too good to be true or if there was
something suspect about the quality. However, after taking a leap of
faith... from the first call to the delivery, HTD was excellent! The
product sound/quality is as good as I had read and every bit the
quality that I was told to expect. The shipping was prompt and the new
speakers sound wonderful! Overall I would rate the people/speakers
from HTD a 5 out of 5 and would highly recommend them to anyone
looking for high-end speakers at a price that we normal people can
actually afford. Way to go HTD, and keep up the great work!"
Steve F.
Apple Valley, MN
"What a great product! Let me tell you how impressed I am. I ordered 2
Level 1 In Wall speakers plus a Level 2 Center speaker and I was blown
away with the performance. I then ordered 2 Middies for my front
left/right speakers to replace the Sony speakers I had. Your customer
service guy stated the Middies would blow away the Sony's. Well, he
was right. Keep up the great work, good prices and a warranty that
makes it hard to say no."
Carl B.

"I have purchased from HTD three times in the last 1.5 years and this
is the best online dealer I know of. Their products are excellent, the
staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Every online store should be this
good."
Bharat N.
Carol Stream, IL
"Excellent product, great price, and extremely fast shipping. I
ordered 5 in-wall speakers on a Monday and received all 5 speakers
that same Wednesday. Speakers sound great and I could not be more
pleased. I will be buying more from Home Theater Direct!"
Zachariah W.
Stanley, KS
"Excellent experience overall. Best prices. Excellent speakers. Plain
English installation instructions. Couldn't ask for more. Well done!"
James D.
Waxhaw, NC
"My order from HTD was perfect. Their pricing and quality are
fantastic. I purchased in-wall speakers, a subwoofer, and cable. In my
opinion, they match the sound and quality of brands/models in local
stores but at a significant savings. Of particular note - the
subwoofer finish is much nicer than I could find locally without
spending hundreds of dollars more. Great pricing. Great quality. I
definitely recommend anyone putting in a sound or theater system give
them a strong consideration."
David D.
St. Louis, MO
"These speakers for the price are phenomenal. I would definitely
purchase from this merchant again."
Carol M.

"Thanks HTD, I absolutely love the in-ceiling speakers and center
channel I ordered from you guys. The order was shipped the day I
ordered, and was at my front door, two days later. I tried them out
with the movie I,Robot. I sat back, turned out the lights, and
actually thought I was at the movie theater. I really love the fact
that I can get this type of sound, and keep the room looking very
clean. I don't think I could get a better sound from the more
expensive name brands out there."
Barry A.
Madison, AL
"HTD has the goods! I have 4 of the AL-R80 in ceiling speakers, 2
Middies as fronts in my surround set up, a level II center, and a
level II sub. They all sound equally great for stereo and surround.
When I asked for help, I received knowledgeable, friendly, practical
advice that I could use. Keep up the good work HTD!"
Barry E.
Coppell, TX
"The ceiling speakers sound and look great. Service before and after
the sale is remarkable. Though a 5 is the highest rating in this
system, HTD deserves a 10 in my book. I will be back for more down the
road I'm sure."
Jim W.
Watertown, SD
"The service was outstanding in selecting the right speakers for my
system and room layout. They did not try to sell me their best
speakers, but rather those that fit my system best. I received the
speakers in an extremely short time. I suspect they were shipped that
day. The quality of the speakers surpasses that of my more expensive
Bose speakers. I highly recommend this company for obtaining top
quality speakers at a most reasonable price."
Brad U.
Palm Harbor, FL
"This is a fantastic company and I am a repeat client. We build custom
homes in Southern California and use HTD speakers in every house we
build! I order from the same person every time who is professional and
courteous. I am the buyer for my company and have done my homework-
you won't find anything better than HTD for the price, quality and all
around satisfaction."
Scott H.
Big Bear Lake, CA
"Excellent products at a low cost. Don't waste your money. These guys
sell only the best at a price that seems questionable at first glance.
Don't be fooled. I have ordered from HTD many times and the products
always exceed my expectations."
Ken B.
Upland, CA
"This is my second order. Im really surprised just how fast their
shipping is. Great products and great service. Prices are fanstatic -
can't be beat. Why order any place else?"
Richard H.

"The price is so good that you dont expect the quality to be awesome.
Well, it is awesome. I wont go anywhere else for speakers."

MC-66 for at least
10 years and I move and bring it with me. HTD provides me with
incredible speakers at a very competitive price. Thanks Mike for the
help!!!"

"Since 2004 many of my friends ordered HTD for their homes. I'm an old
customer and I am still extremely happy. You guys have no idea how
much this gets used, loudly, 4 to 6 days a week. Good stuff you guys.
Good stuff."

"I've been working with Mike Smoot since day one of this project, and
I've been nothing but thrilled with his help. He worked with me to
design the system (using the "
Submit your Plans" service) and had great ideas and feedback. I thought I knew what I
wanted, but he had some great suggestions that I ended up adding to
the quote and ultimately purchasing. I really appreciated that he was
willing to break the purchase into two parts for me as well. I
purchased the speakers/brackets/terminals first during the
construction phase of my home, then purchased the
Lync 12v3 controller and two DMA-1240ADS amps
after that. I was purchasing a lot of various hardware/appliances/etc,
so not having more things sitting around for several months was very
convenient for me. Originally, I honestly wasn't sure if I'd be buying
the complete system from HTD, or just the controller, but Mike's help
really sealed the deal for me. I value working with small businesses
and will pay good money to work with one that has great support. Mike
won that sale and future sales as I get settled in and get a Home
Theater room setup in the future. I've also recommended HTD to a
friend who's about to start an audio project. Keep up the good work,
and please let Mike know I appreciate all of his help!"

"I've bought 2 systems over the years. I've had very few questions but
have been very impressed with how quickly and thoroughly my questions

"I had a spectacular experience installing my new home sound system
with HTD. We bought a new home with pre-existing wiring and had no
idea what to do with it. I walked through the ideal setup with Scott
from support on the phone and he helped me create a game plan.
My
only regret is that I didn't call them sooner - they were more than
happy to help me through my setup.
Love the equipment,
spectacular sound quality and great app-based controls. The Spotify
streamer that came with it work great too. Couldn't be happier! Will
definitely be ordering from them again if and when I have a need."

"I discovered HTD while searching Google for a solution to my home and
garden center business. HTD's systems solved [my old system's]
problems and allowed us to update to multiple inputs, including
streaming. All is controllable by your phone. I have since expanded to
a second Garden Center location and installed 12 new outdoor speakers
from htd. They work beautifully in both the humid environment of the
greenhouse and outside. I have also expanded to add a system at my
wife's gym spin studio. And this past week, we doubled our amplifier
capacity at the first Garden Center to provide sound to a newly built
10,000 sq ft Greenhouse. Through all the projects, Ricky from HTD was
fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, and ensured we were getting what
we needed. He took the time to understand what I wanted to do and had
the solutions for me. I am extremely satisfied with this company and
highly recommend their product and service. From two garden centers, a
spin studio at a gym, and whole-home audio, HTD has provided the
perfect systems."

"I've been an HTD customer for nearly 20 years and outfitted several
homes with their gear over the years. In my new home, I built a
dedicated home theater and looked at a lot of alternatives, but came
back to HTD again. I selected 2 cinema s12 subwoofers, 3 cinema LCR2
fronts, 4 R65AIM for Atmos, and 4 W65s for the surrounds. The cinema
speakers are the most important speakers yet hidden behind an
acoustically transparent screen. They sound amazing and provide an
immersive movie experience. I highly recommend HTD and the cinema
series for your dedicated home theater."
John P.

"Ricky was/is amazing to work with. Customer service has been great.
Very thorough with troubleshooting and very friendly and kind to talk
to. Dealing with someone like Ricky makes me want to deal with HTD
even more."
