@maguiar102 I don't buy anything without my partner listening with me. She gets sick of the chest-beating men, who seem to have something to prove with their systems. She also has BETTER ears than me, hence why her opinion is important as we like to listen together.
It is nice to see another women in this hobby.
My wife can run rings around people, with logic and that is what is missing in audio, sometimes, is logic. Hence our systems are not expensive, but they sound good to us and we do not feel the need to go on the audio equipment merry go round.
We (my wife and I) are not the type of customers that audio companies want. They want people to hunt the latest and greatest.
