Lack of Female Representation
Simple really, women just aren't as obsessed.Women I've known, Women I've been with love listening to music. Their just not as anal retentive as Men. Their not going to lose sleep over it.  
Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com
Sorry to hear about your problem. Unlucky I guess. I've bought thru their website multiple times in the last 4-5 years. Never once had a problem. Hope it works out for you 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
Clearly trolling for responses. Preposition so idiotic it ridiculous it defies logic.  
These seem a bit pricey $$$
Things are worth what a person is willing to pay for them. Is HiFi gear overpriced. Yes, wouldn't argue that. But the difference in time, research and development and material of let's say a $500 compared to $5k speaker is noticeable. Now these hi... 
Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway.
No such thing as a silly question, as theirs always silly people to answer.

Moderately priced audio

Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!

Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?
Several fit the category. No particular order, cause it always changes:The DoorsREMAllman BrothersCCRBruce Springsteen & E Street BandGreatful DeadTheir other real good ones, but these would be in the top. 
Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C.
Think your better served waiting and saving more. $300 on an integrated amp is going to give you just that a $300 amp. 
Small Bedroom Tube Amp
Let me play devil's advocate here. Haven't seen this mentioned. Don't know how little your little ones are, but glowing tubes, its like a moth to light. They could seriously burn. Something to think about. 
klipsh forte III purchase
Not for me. Not my taste. To in your face for my liking. Although don't mind hearing a few songs on them. Reminds me why I don't own a pair.
