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.

"The only possible turn on for single woman would be the cash register ringing in her little head."

Bingo!
I occasionally used to give a co-worker, who I was very attracted to, a ride home. If I talked about my passion for audio, her response would be one of polite interest. One day she discovered a pair of Siltech G6 interconnects in my back seat (honest, they were just there; I, uh... borrowed them from a friend, OK?). I reasonably cautioned her to be careful with them because they were expensive. She bit, eh...I mean she asked how much? First there was disbelief, but as I went into a detailed explanation, her whole disposition changed. Suddenly, she had a million questions about my system. Before we could get to her place, she asked if she could buy me a drink - to repay me for my generosity in driving her home all these times. Prior to this, I was admonished if I missed a light. We shared three glorious weeks together that ended abruptly, of course, at the Audi dealer when I wouldn't make the down payment and co-sign. Oh well.
Gentlemen, my last post concerned one specific instance and was, in no way, offered as support for any thesis on the character of women. Nobody's daughter's honor need be defended. The intention of the post was light hearted humor which is how I interpreted this thread "Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?" Come on!
Don’t underestimate the symbolic attraction of tubes, especially big tubes - phallic shaped, red hot and glowing, bursting with stray electrons. Heh-heh-heh...
