Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?


I recently purchased a pair of speakers that I showed to a non-audiophile female friend of mine. She said they looked beautiful and asked how much they cost. When I told her, her jaw dropped. She then asked if I was using them to pick up hot chicks. Hmm...I told her the only people who get turned on by my audiophile speakers are balding middle-aged men. She had a laugh, but I wondered if anyone tried to impress a girl with his stereo system. High end is a male dominated hobby like sports cars. So have you found a woman who was turned on by your system. I have had no such look. I just get blank stares when I talk about my hobby to women.

To answer the question posed in the original subject line, NO.

A nice, classy guy with a boom box and a Barry Manilow CD will get more action than a cad with 6 digits worth of Krell / Wilson.
My cat was a better filter then the Stereo.

If the lady and cat got along, it was a very good sign.

If the lady liked my cooking.....BBQ, home made bread and a trip out later for desert, that was also a good sign.
Nothing worse than a woman who picks at her food and tries to stare a cat down. Near-automatic disqualifier.

As for the guy with the boombox? Do people with megabuck stereos SERIOUSLY think that makes them classy? My spouse works at a very hi-end resort / spa which has far more than its share of rich jerks. People that need someone to tell them the time......or tell them what the weather is like....when the door is 30 feet away. So much for rich and classy.
Listening to records! A suspicious 'fringe' activity. As for the B&O, it is terrific eye candy, more akin to art for the eye and ear. But not for the serious lunatics that post here!
Me? Issues? did you read what I wrote? both posts?
Isn't that what I said? If someone thinks that 20large worth of stereo imparts 'class', that is a mistake. You CAN, of course, have both, but the stereo does not a classy guy make. Any more than does owning a certain car or living in a certain neighborhood....
I'm sorry if I wasn't 'clear'.
No, 10cats / 3dogs does NOT make you classy. It makes you the owner of 3 dogs and STAFF to 10 cats. I'm sure that either the neighbors hate your cats or you spend an hour a day on litter box duties. Unless you live rural and than the darn Coyotes will be after your poor cats.
I'm not worried. I was trying to put a humorous twist on what is an obvious kooky question.
I hope you keep your animals well.
My cats had the run of the place, never looked 2x at my panels and were at all times civil little beasts.
Even the neighbors remarked that when my cats would visit there back yards, their was no digging or other anti-social behavior. The big orange one like the pool next door and would just sit and watch it.
The neighbor on the OTHER side had a HUGE Black Lab who liked cats. When my cats would refuse to come in, I'd go borrow the dog. CATS IN.
People were amazed when my wife would call them....in Spanish and they'd come running.....
'Wow, your cats understand Spanish!!' sure they do. lol
