Speakers Women Like


Another discussion asked whether there were any women audiophiles, like males who knit, they exist, but are hard to find. I am interested in "stereo" types (i.e. types of people who like stereo music), but not judgements and I love hearing about what other listeners get out of music.

So my question for the women listeners and readers here is, what speakers do you like, maybe what headphones and what make you scratch your head and go "you’ve got to be kidding me? "  Do you think it's about hearing, or culture? Are you all about the big double bass in a Jazz quartet, or the Chinese erhu? What makes you feel at home with audiophiles, what makes you feel your by yourself?

Any other information about how you got there, like whether you play music, or like a certain genre. Please, we’re all ears.

I know that some women like good electrostatic speakers. And to them there is no comparison between analog and digital. Also, usually they don't like very low bass. Many women have great hearing.
All right. As I already said, women are very sensitive to distortion in low frequences, as far as I know. This might give them headache, nausea and general feeling of discomfort. I would guess, they are more sensitive to distortions in all frequences. They usually like clarity and controlled sound, acoustic tapestry sophistication is less important.
