Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?


I recently purchased a pair of speakers that I showed to a non-audiophile female friend of mine. She said they looked beautiful and asked how much they cost. When I told her, her jaw dropped. She then asked if I was using them to pick up hot chicks. Hmm...I told her the only people who get turned on by my audiophile speakers are balding middle-aged men. She had a laugh, but I wondered if anyone tried to impress a girl with his stereo system. High end is a male dominated hobby like sports cars. So have you found a woman who was turned on by your system. I have had no such look. I just get blank stares when I talk about my hobby to women.

I don't think so. At least in my experience. Descriptive words that come to mind, which women have used to describe my speakers/set-up have included "that stuff" and "that junk."

Most recenlty when a female friend of mine saw my system and thought it a waste of $$$. Her comment was, "You better finish buying all this junk before you get married. Because once you get married your wife will never let you waste money on this kind of junk."

So, I don't think so. Although I now remember that 1 female friend described the speakers as classy and with a high quality furniture look. But I'm sure they were not a "turn on" for her.
