My wife has recently became interested. Purchased a NAIM Unity Atom and a pair of Klipsch LaScalas
Women who enjoy quality speakers
In my former marriage i was introduced to high end audio by my husband.
At the time the endless visits to highend shows , meetings and shops annoyed me. Tech talk and not very female friendly designs came and went in my living room.
And although i couldnt get used to all of the above, one thing i learned , how to listen.
Now years further , in my second marriage quality audio wasnt a very well know topic of my husband working in tech. Mediocre cheaper hifi dominated the house, which looked even worse and sounded even a lot worse.
When we talked about new speakers and bang and olufsen was mentioned i knew i had to educate him , to let him know whats on the market and how things can sound.
The revelation ended in buying avalon speakers and simular quality equipement and cables.
Now its up and running i really enjoy music again!
Who would have thought that!
I have never seen a lot of other women enthousiastic about quality sound and music. Are there any in this group? Do your wifes experience the same as i did?
Wishing you all a very musical festive season,
A very happy wife,
Jasmine

@OP, Great Post! I mean it. As a kid from the Projects, I wasn't exposed to the finer things in life. Going to an Ivy League college exposed me to things I could not afford, but still lusted for. My parents chastised me for being so gullible. After college, working for the 1% exposed me to even more things I never knew or dreamed of. I would say your your former husband did much the same for you. Let's just say life has a strange way of guiding us. -And, guiding us to be better than we ever thought we could be, if we give it a chance. I think your current husband should consider himself blessed. Bob |
Thanks for posting djasmine. Reading your post and most of the responses brought some joy to my life today. Especially oldhvymec, which also brought good tears. My wife of 22+ years, who has better ears than I, enjoys the hell out of our audio journey, and has contributed greatly to our combined audiophile enjoyment. |
