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.

Yes i had nice responses , merely because they seem to think that , ....if there is so much spent on a system " there must be more " .

I've seen photographic evidence in some of the mainstream rags among their advertisers that certain specific brands seem to be like sirens for beautiful women. They also seem to enjoy revealing their physical assets while standing by the chick-magnet products. Vincent amps come to mind...some other speaker manufacturer, and even a wire vendor a while back. One could assemble a system from all these aphrodisiac components and, well, there'd probably be no more time for listening to music!
that is the point, is either music or the women..I do not like to mix it....hence I like ugly speakers and pretty women!
A psychologist might suggest that a woman viewing large pinnacles rising out of a flat surface would serve as a sexual turn on and inspire either arousal,or suspicion that this is to compensate for "other" inadequacies.So maybe stick with monitors and don't invite comparisons.Just stay away from mini- monitors.
This is a true story: Two weeks ago, my wife and I (we are in our late 50s) were in San Francisco on a vacation. We were driving around trying to find a restaurant we had made reservations for, and about one block from the restaurant, the unmistakable sight of Sonus Faber speakers caught my eye through a showroom window. I said, "Oh, it's a high-end audio store with Sonus Fabers." My wife, who merely tolerates my audio hobby, looked over as we drove past and said, "Oh, those are gorgeous, maybe the store is still open." We parked nearby and on the way to the restaurant, we walked into the store. It was about 6 p.m. and they were about to close the store, but the owner (I think the name of the place was Music Lovers) agreed to let us come in and take a look. I had never seen Sonus Faber speakers in "real life" and believe me, they are even nicer "in person." The Cremona, with the maple wooden sides, was particularly stunning. Well, a few days after we got home, we were talking about the great time we had on the vacation (we spent several days in Sonoma County also), my wife said, "You know, I keep thinking about those speakers." I'm not sure exactly what she meant by that and it even made me a little jealous. She didn't say it, but I know she wants me to buy them if and when I make my next speaker purchase, and put them in the living room. So, you can take this story for whatever it is worth.
