Do female audiophiles exist

Yes, although Silence is necessary as we would not want to be pursued for our equipment.

I know my spouse is not one.  I recently bought a pair of Wilson Audio Duette 2's with a Raven integrated MK2 Reflection tube amp.  I am building a new house and was going to put the speakers in the great room.  All I have heard for the last three months is her bitching how those speakers are going to wreck the room.  She can't understand why in wall speakers aren't acceptable.  She has made it a point to make my life miserable over these speakers so I think I am going to sell them without ever hearing them.  It is cheaper than getting a new wife.  

audiowoman, Nice to see you post here.  You may want to look into MQA (a new way of encoding digital music that is supposed to sound better, if you haven't heard) before buying a server.  If MQA is for real, you may want a streamer, a Tidal subscription and an MQA decoding DAC.  I don't know how long it may take to determine if MQA is for real though.

willgolf, you’re just going to have to get your wife to understand the necessity of a listening room in your new house. That will be yours and she can have the great room all to herself.  It's cheaper than a divorce.
