StereoLady, nice response. I know this is a difficult time to enter the audio business, but I really wish you the best success. It is hard for me to explain my passion for music when all my wife sees are cables and large speakers and a blatant disregard for aesthetics. I will heartily recommend your site to my friends who are inclined towards music in their home but are (rightfully) intimidated by the whole scene. Elizabeth, your contributions are always welcome. I look forward to your posts. I hope that you continue to contribute and that more women will be brave enough to venture into this territory. Many times it is very stuffy here and reeks of testosterone.
