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.
Maybe speakers are like dogs and tend to resemble their owners.
Might be some truth in that?
That might be a good scenario for speakers being a turn on for some women, but not for those speaker owners perhaps challenged in this regard otherwise.
Shortly after I met my wife in 1988, I gave her my Aiwa AD-6550 which was a very nice looking cassette deck to use with her piddling 70's vintage Lafayette all in one compact stereo (remember those?) in her apartment where the built in cassette no longer worked.
