Women who enjoy quality speakers


In my former marriage i was introduced to high end audio by my husband.

At the time the endless visits to highend shows , meetings and shops annoyed me. Tech talk and not very female friendly designs came and went in my living room.

And although i couldnt get used to all of the above, one thing i learned , how to listen.

Now years further , in my second marriage quality audio wasnt a very well know topic of my husband working in tech. Mediocre cheaper hifi dominated the house, which looked even worse and sounded even a lot worse.

When we talked about new speakers and bang and olufsen was mentioned i knew i had to educate him , to let him know whats on the market and how things can sound.

The revelation ended in buying avalon speakers and simular quality equipement and cables.

Now its up and running i really enjoy music again!

Who would have thought that!

I have never seen a lot of other women enthousiastic about quality sound and music. Are there any in this group? Do your wifes experience the same as i did?

Wishing you all a very musical festive season,

A very happy wife,

Jasmine

This thread is about equipment, no?  How did it blur into claims that women don't like/appreciate music?  That is preposterous.   Anyone who pretends to think that should probably spend some time in a symphony hall, or just roaming the corridors and practice rooms of a conservatory. 
There are many reasons, but one of the simplest is this.   I don't know what you do for a living, but if a woman does exactly the same thing, she is getting paid less.  And that few thousand difference?  There goes the discretionary spending that could go into a $50K stereo.  Plus, personal expenses?  Clothes and grooming?  I could go to work in a Bean shirt and sandals and no one batted an eye. None of my female colleagues could do that.  (I doubt any single woman has a "listening room"; actually, I've never known a single man who has one!)  The women I know who manage to get enough money to spend on music (and many of them do), spend it on concert tickets, or say, a piano.
