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

I wish more women were interested in audio/music and frankly more people.  Somehow we have settled into casual listening and younger folks stuck with their earbuds.  I don't think people realize the escape and inner balance music makes.  I have been blessed with a wife that understands my music habit and purchases and will, on occasion, join me for a listening session.  I wish my hearing was as good as hers.  
My wife's hearing is far superior to mine, and all other male hobbyists that I know. Now if i could only get her interested in listening to my rig, for more than 20 seconds!! 
@audiokinesis , isn't it great to have an 'in-house' QC? ;)

Spouse is awaiting a pair of 'semi-sorta SOTA' monitors for her desktop, as 'in-monitor' pairs on dual screens are laughable @ best....

We have different 'preferences', but music is a common ground in our lives.  She likes her equipment a bit more 'plug 'n play', whereas I can complicate a paper clip when left alone..

....but if it doesn't sound Good....

"OK, what's next?" *G*
do you guys like to DANCE together?

Not us. Tried, can't - somebody has to be first percentile.
I’m a relatively new member her, a year or so maybe, but I recall a member, Elizabeth, who was a frequent poster here. She was waaaaaay into hi-fi. Knew her stuff. Knew what she liked.....but was also in constant pursuit of that last tiny incremental improvement.

Is Elizabeth still active here?
