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.

Ebm, don't show your woman your speakers very often, show sometimes something else too and see what works better.

Czarivey, If it is not what I think you had in mind, then real audiophile doesn't have much else to show spending all the money on this money sucking hobby.

It amazes me that anyone would even pose this question. It seems so naive.

The greatest majority of women just don't care and the majority of those who do have adopted it because it is a huge focus of their spouse.

And in all cases, the best you could say is that she is interested. Why on earth would any woman be turned on by speakers, audiophile or not? These things are just hardware.

If you are counting on the successful conquest of women, I suggest you put some other arrows in your quiver. Your speakers aren't going to make her churn.

Kijanki, Everyone have a right to always have something else in mind :-). I also agree that posing this question is silly. I've never thought about impressing woman with speakers and perhaps never will in my cognitive life. It would look to me that if you have nothing to say to a woman you can let speakers do the job for you (isn't that silly?). That idea can only be found in forums of Audiogon.
Women are emotionally impressed by man's mind and speech power. Showing off your toys is childish, naive and clear sign of mind power deficit.

"It amazes me that anyone would even pose this question."

I think amusement, and perhaps a bit of wishful thinking, is probably the point.
