Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?

None of my audio gear has been reviewed in TAS or Stereophile, as far as I know but I haven't read either rag in a long time. But I did find couple of married women recently who were very pleased with the aesthetics of my speakers and audio room.

I wonder if female audiophiles are turned on by the looks of their equipment (I mean their audio gear). I know have seen one advertiser use a half naked woman with their thick speaker wire coiled around the her. The woman turned me on cuz she was half naked, but not the speaker wire.

I did see ads by some audio company (Vincent Audio I think) with a male and female dancers. The male, who had long hair and scruffy mustache or gotee, had just some white pants and was in some effeminate dance stance. Dunno, but this ad really turned me off, eventhough the female dancer was very attractive. Since 90%+ audiophiles are male (most are probably heterosexual), I think including a male, especially the one I saw, is a mistake.

Yes, they're right up there with fancy flyfishing tackle and Snap-On tools.

Some women just like the sound of BOSE speakers better....

I met my wife in Ukraine (long story) and her exposure to music was nothing more than a really cheap boombox.

Coming to America and seeing my setup which was at the time a pair of Def Tech BP2000's AR15 pre Classe DAC 1, Theta Transport and a pair of Classe amps, she really didn't understand what that all meant. She loved the music however and now 7 years later has been on-board with all our stereo purchases. She has very keen ears and has spent countless evenings critiqing tubes, cables, positioning, you name it. She picked the last pair of speakers we purchased, our MBL 121's. When I bought the line arrays (LS6's) she wanted the bigger ones (LS9's). I had to talk her into the smaller ones as they would reach nearly to the ceiling!

Although we aren't by any means wealthy, most of our cash has gone to audio. I think we're bad for each other in that way. We've spent a crazy amount of money on audio and listen almost nightly.

Rare indeed :) Oh ya, I married her.

Desalvo55, does you wife have a sister? Hopefully, single.
