Why do almost all women today hate home audio?

don’t care very much about home audio. This is a very tiny niche market.

when I grew up, everybody (boys) wanted a system. It was called hifi-tower. An amp, receiver, turntable and 2 giant speakers.

In the late 90s, everybody (men) wanted a Bose wave radio + CD player. (I thought it sounded horrible, but that's besides the point)

I don’t know why it would be a tiny market today. Based on Amazon’s lo-fi products’ reviews, there are millions of people buying speakers that are infinitely better than the iPhone’s speaker

I don’t know who does and doesn’t listen to hi-fi, but I do know that every realtor I have ever spoken with has said if you want to sell your house, the hi-fi has to go, including the two I had to crowbar out of the sweet spot on occasion. No one wants to even see it. An empty room would be better than a dedicated one. The most clever one asked for a ballpark value for my rig, because that’s how much he was going to reduce the asking price. Then he offered to buy it. I set it up at a friend’s and our house sold for asking a couple days later. 
 

My two 4 year-old granddaughters love to dance in the room with the “big music”. My wife made it half-way through Songbird asking how I could stand to listen to something that intensely intimate. Same thing with daughter-in-law and Just a Little Lovin’. She barely made it to the bridge before it was, “Nope, nope, nope way too emotional.”

Wow my wife just wants to make love all day, maybe 3 - 4 times a day and not even while listening to music! What’s a guy to do who just wants to be absorbed by music?

The young demographics' excitement with music reproduction is with headphones. Cheaper, easier to get into, and can exceed 2-channel in many ways.

Women like to talk. They love to talk. It actually releases endorphin for them. And to sit down and quietly listen, it really isn’t what they’re designed to do. Music events like concerts on the other hand, lots of girls.

I agree all. Many men like talk too. In the live band cafe or concert (natural sound), many men and women are talking loud happily. However, in our audio rooms (and in audio shows), people are quiet. It is because all audio sounds are un-natural and people can’t hear natural sound when they are listening un-natural audio sounds.

People can’t hear natural and un-natural sounds at the same time. The ears and brain must switch between different sound modes. It is very irritating and tiresome even for audiophiles if anyone talks (natural) while listening hi-fi sounds (un-natural). Also, almost women (and non-audiophile men) can’t switch to un-natural sound mode and listening hi-fi sound for a long time ( >10 minutes?) is like a torture to them. Alex/Wavetouch
