Women tend to not like ugly things.
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
Why do almost all (99%) of women never seriously, sit, and listen to home audio through even one album?
I knew many, many women that listened, and had there own stereos, in the late 60's and 70's.
They even had big record collections, and some even had real-to-real tape recorders.
Why did they disappear?
What changed?

Women like my systems some say it's art the younger ones bust a move. My granddaughters play inside my large horn speakers. Many women walk right up to my loudspeakers and touch them like they are a pet. I have had old women sit in the sweet spot and smile or cry. Saying women don't like music or audio is sexist. They just don't like how the modern audiophile does a system. Massive cost can't be touched and must only sit in one spot when listening, many times the music is played that makes the system sound good but is not a piece of good music. The systems are cluttered and ugly. They are told how to sit what to listen to and how to listen to it and then asked how does it sound? this = no fun at all. Most of my systems are giant but wonderful to behold people enjoy just looking at them. And I have had buyers use them more like sculptures. I let listeners just enjoy I don't hover about or tell them how to do it.

All hi-fi audio sounds in the world hurt ears of non-audiophiles (wives and men). It is painful to them that they can’t hear more that few minutes. They went to audio shows with you to hear better sounds but they couldn’t find one. They lost hope to find better audio sounds. I have been an a’phile for > 30 years and enjoyed those un-natural hi-fi sound like you guys. Now my audio system is natural sound and all other hi-fi sounds hurt my ears bad. My wife dislike my audio systems for decades but she loves my audio now. I am exhibiting my audio system at (# 372)
T.H.E. Show / THE HOME ENTERTAINMENT SHOW LLC My room is # 372. Bring your wife to the show and get some respect this time. https://youtu.be/XaBy9CcGoTE?t=83 Alex/Wavetouch |
An orthogonal comment to what has been said so far: I submit that women have more sensitive hearing, especially in the higher registers (they also have much more sensitive noses and olfactory memory). Most home-audio gear will fail them in this regard, meaning: the reproduction won’t convey to them the pleasure they remember from a real life event. Men, on the other hand are often engrossed by technical specs, which often leads to expectation bias, letting them become much more forgiving. Women, on the other hand, might become emotionally disengaged quite easily if the home audio reproduction lacks the "truth"; they sure don’t get swayed by "unheard-of THD values". My wife is a very critical listener, who points out to me certain inaccuracies, when I just marvel at the overall presentation. Needless to say, after her comments, I hear the same thing, which is then sticking out like a sore thumb, and leads to further quests for better sound. The financial expenses correlating with that quest, however, are now easily justified, when she sees new expenses showing up on our shared accounts, such as: "remember when you objected to the sound of the so-and-so recording? This will hopefully take care of that for good." And thus a new USAudiomart order is being created. Her incorruptible ears are part of our marital bliss. |
