Speakers Women Like

Another discussion asked whether there were any women audiophiles, like males who knit, they exist, but are hard to find. I am interested in "stereo" types (i.e. types of people who like stereo music), but not judgements and I love hearing about what other listeners get out of music.

So my question for the women listeners and readers here is, what speakers do you like, maybe what headphones and what make you scratch your head and go "you’ve got to be kidding me? "  Do you think it's about hearing, or culture? Are you all about the big double bass in a Jazz quartet, or the Chinese erhu? What makes you feel at home with audiophiles, what makes you feel your by yourself?

Any other information about how you got there, like whether you play music, or like a certain genre. Please, we’re all ears.

Not sure if this fits, but as a live sound mixer working mostly "folkie" and jazz shows, I've noticed that many successful professional female performers (as compared to novice musicians performing as opening acts) are much more concerned than most male performers about the technical aspects of getting the sound to conform to their standards…which I really enjoy because it's refreshing. Often I've had women call out specific frequency tweaks from the stage during sound check, and I've learned over the years to anticipate monitor settings that appeal to more female performers…yeah, I can learn things! (amazingly)…not all successful musicians are technically savvy enough to ever care much about this stuff, and that's fine with me, but I give props to performers who DO care as well as ones who leave it all up to me. It's interesting that musicians I end up working with multiple times do tend to leave things up to me eventually as they assume I know what I'm doing (ha…fooled 'em again).
