Women who enjoy quality speakers

n80:   "She does not know how to work it even though it is no more complicated than firing up the space shuttle."

Now that made me laugh!!!  

To the OP and all the lady audiophiles, I think it's awesome and I'm sure most would very much welcome more women into the community. You sound like a great lady....you're welcome in my humble listening room anytime.

For the other evil woman out there.....stop putting Xmas decorations on top of our speakers....LOL. 

My wife and I are in a middle income tax bracket. Spending stupid money on my hi fi desires has always been a touchy subject. She likes the sound of quality stuff, just has way too level a head on her shoulders to spend beyond our means. Two years ago I was wanting a new pair of Legacys. The Signature SE’s were on my wish list, but the 6500 a pair was stretching my available funds. I called the dealer, which was in a neighboring state, and ask if his demo room has prices listed on the speakers. He replied yes. I asked if he would remove them for my wife and I’s demo session. He chuckled and said yes. After about a half hour of listening to the Signatures, I ask the dealer about the break in period and what differences to expect between what we were listening to and a well worn set. I mentioned the tweeters and how crisp they were. He said, " Let me fire up the Focus SE’s, as they have the same identical tweeter array and they have been played continuously while in the showroom. I knew the SE’s were over ten thousand dollars and absolutely out of my price range. In 30 seconds of listening, my wife pats me on the arm and says " THOSE...are the ones we want." I said (as I chuckled) " Babe, their a little out of our price range." She surprises the heck out of me and says "Our stock is doing really well right now"..I am just being floored that my wife is trying to talk ME into these speakers. Of course we bought them, and to this day she does not know what they cost.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound? With you we finally have someone in the forest to answer the question!
I wish! My wife can’t tell the difference between music played on her cell phone speakers or“ my” vandersteen’s and this frustrates the hell out of me. Same with tv she does not know the difference between standard and hd and 4k video. I just set up a middle of the road streaming system in my 15 year old daughters room and she said it sounds “different” from what she has been use to and she is listening to more music now. So I do have hope for her but my wife is a lost cause.
Great for you to post this and prove that you do exist and there could actually be more of you!
