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.

"women do not have much interest in equipment, just results"

Well put.

A lot of men too I suspect. I care mostly about results, not what gets me there, though you cannot achieve the former without addressing the later.

Elizabeth, I appreciate your insight into why women like diamonds as well. I think I knew this but never thought about it quite that way before....

At the risk of being too serious in responding to a light-hearted question, I'll say this. I didn't select my speakers to turn on women, but to enjoy music. And I am looking for a woman who enjoys music, not responding to my equipment rack. (Ha ha, I said "rack" -- must be a subliminal message.) As long as we are both focused on enjoying the music, and each other's company, who cares what she thinks about my speakers?

Me neither.

But my OHM F5s are pretty ballsy as speakers go, if I may be allowed to brag a bit.

I've been considering trying some of that Axe stuff that they advertise on TV for cleaning certain alluded to naughty bits with them.

I consider my jewelry to be my lovely red Wireworld digital interconnects! Pretty blue Cardas balanced interconnects. When we first started upgrading a few years ago, we bought our system on Valentine's Day!
There's all kinds of bling - I prefer mine to make music.
And yes, most women do not care....perhaps a shoe shaped speaker??
