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.

I would add that woman are emotional, I don't intend that comment in a negative way.  What I mean its most will connect with the music but they could care less about the equipment that creates the sound.  They like the emotional connection they feel when they hear an amazing recording. 

Cars are the same way, some guys think, "if I had a nice car I would get a lot of attention from woman". I have owned many nice cars in my life and I can never remember a woman looking at me or asking me questions at a gas station. They probably look at a sports car as a mid life crisis in action.  My wife gets a ton of attention driving my cars by herself though, all from men, me included.  Now that's sexy. 

Morale of the story; buy things you enjoy and consider it a large bonus If you find someone else who shares your passion.
