Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?

Grab a lawnmower, rake, edgetrimmer, weedwhacker - grab a bucket and water some Meguires car wash, then wash her car. Show her you can move more then just biasing the tubes and changing out a CD -and show you have some amount of physical fitness and not look like these Audio reviewers. No offense.

Believe me, that will turn them on a lot more then justifying to them a 20K purchase of Magico Mini's and CAry SLP-98, CAD-120 with the tubes glowing and nice meters.
Being single (married now for 5) for virtually 15 + years of my audiophile life that seemed to work a bit more with my dates then a new pair of speakers.

I'm just sayin.
:o)

maybe. the other day i got a text from my girlfriend that said "i can't believe you spent $1200 on that peachtree thing for your office... you're lucky it's pretty" granted this is an amplifier we are talking about, not speakers. though she is obsessed with her NAD integrated and monitor audio BX2's i got for her apartment.

Imo,

You are brilliant!

The secret to getting speakers to turn on a woman is BUY THEM FOR HER!!!!

Shortly after I met my wife in 1988, I gave her my Aiwa AD-6550 which was a very nice looking cassette deck to use with her piddling 70's vintage Lafayette all in one compact stereo (remember those?) in her apartment where the built in cassette no longer worked.

The rest is history.......

Sure, they care about the look of it so it matches the window treatments.
But I don't think this should be confused as a "turn-on".
Now since you bought the NAD for her that is great - I gave my wife some Epos speakers....which is about to go on Audiogon becuase she is really not interested anymore in the idea of that 2nd system.

I can say that during my time being single - not a one thought my system was a turnon, let alone the speakers

BTW - my interpretation is you are not living together. If you ever do, or exchange the I do's -
Try this exercise :o) - come home one day and say, "honey I would like to max out my (no our) credit card and purchase some 20K Wilson speakers (you know the cheaper speakers that Absolute sound reviews), with the pretty paino gloss finish.
Also that money we were saving for our vacation and kitchen renovation will have to go on hold for 5 years or so as we pay off the speakers and the 10% interest". It may be longer as I may need to purchase another AMp to monoblock it to drive those babies better...can you please move your grandmother's antique table to the other room or put it in storage so I have more floorspace"?
I am saying most of this very light hearted by the way, please take this as conversation...but i don't think I am that far off base.
