Women who enjoy quality speakers

In my former marriage i was introduced to high end audio by my husband.

At the time the endless visits to highend shows , meetings and shops annoyed me. Tech talk and not very female friendly designs came and went in my living room.

And although i couldnt get used to all of the above, one thing i learned , how to listen.

Now years further , in my second marriage quality audio wasnt a very well know topic of my husband working in tech. Mediocre cheaper hifi dominated the house, which looked even worse and sounded even a lot worse.

When we talked about new speakers and bang and olufsen was mentioned i knew i had to educate him , to let him know whats on the market and how things can sound.

The revelation ended in buying avalon speakers and simular quality equipement and cables.

Now its up and running i really enjoy music again!

Who would have thought that!

I have never seen a lot of other women enthousiastic about quality sound and music. Are there any in this group? Do your wifes experience the same as i did?

Wishing you all a very musical festive season,

A very happy wife,

Jasmine

Thanks for taking the time to post, Jasmine! 

When my wife and I were dating, her only source of music at home was her son's boombox.  She wanted to play a song for me, and it had these selectable tone settings like "rock", "country", "classical", etc.  It frustrated her because none sounded right.  She'd push the different buttons and say "this one's too muddy", "this one's too harsh", "this one has no bass".  We finally found a setting that was an okay compromise when a sock was stuffed into one of the ports (my high-tech suggestion). 

The first time she came over to my place, I had huge SoundLab electrostats in the living room (I'm a dealer).  I had warned her that they were bigger than doors and she didn't seem to mind.  Since she was a drummer, I put on a drum solo recording and hoped they'd win her over.  She loved them, and started playing air drums, explaining to me the nuances she could hear in the drummer's technique. 

I'm now a speaker manufcturer, and nothing goes out the door without her approval, as she has much better ears than I.
