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.

Hi Jazzybs - hmmm not easy, try hanging out at concerts or live music events and you will have a better avenue to meet women who appreciate music (not to be confused with giving the green light in spending 25K on Boulder Monoblocks and 25K Wilson's). I met my wife at what is called "First Friday" each month where they close down a block downtown and have some hard jazz groups perform - draws a pretty big crowd.
In my case it was a plus when she listened to the system with her favorite artists...
but to be honest I had bunch of other priorities I was looking for in a girl then one "liking" my stereo.

No, but if you send me $19.95 in three easy payments, I'll send you a product guaranteed to turn your 6 1/2" woofer into at least an 8" woofer, if not 10". Then you'll be the audiophile apple of all the ladies eyes....

Pdj - That sounds like a bit of a stretch.

With the right woman yes. The first time my girlfriend came over she ran her hand over my macasssar ebony finished speakers and said "beautiful". Then when I put on some jazz she wanted to listen for hours....A keeper :)

Kijanki, because the mysterious woman from the Ukraine who appreciates sound quality and loves music, statistically is probably not in the cards for me and the sometimes annoying fact that I am attracted to women eliminates a male as a partner; Lougiants suggestion of using live music events as a filter to meet someone is a good one and probably where I should focus my efforts.
Of course if nothing works out, being single sure beats what I have dealt with the last couple of years, and hey I can always look forward to the fact that in thirty years or so this attraction to women will not be as strong as it is now.
