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

Well I've had the good fortune of being with the same partner for 46 years this Feb. It was how we met. MUSIC! She lived with her buddies in a condo next to my mothers. I'd visit there would be this great music..

At my mothers urging (she loved to dance) go see whos got the music going.. I did and well MUSIC, dancing and have a good time was the one common thing we shared. As different as night and day, yes we were and still are.. 

BUT when it comes to music, she loves beautiful things, how it looks, how it sounds. She will get up and move your speakers. I've seen it..

She learned the triangle, she can really position for her  listening QUICK.. LOL I got to watch her.. She use to move speakers in "The big stores"
Tugging and pushing 350 - 400 lb speakers, poor sales staff having heart failure.  I always said, mind your manners, that purse, is full of money and a gun.... She's pretty quick with both.... Of course I was kidding. There was no money.. :-) I carried a check book, just like her.

Music and Dancing, what else is there... My Hat on the floor... I slowly walk around the hat to the beat of the music, my faithful pup follows me...
The Missus, keep the beat with her castanets, and the taps on one of her favorite dancing shoes... She is a vision of pure beauty, after close to 7 decades of refinement... She makes my heart beat fast to this day...

Olay.. Tap Tap..  Samba..

Regards, fine people...
I suspect many men on this site are a bit jealous right now.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We are creatures of passion. It is the type of music that makes all of us alike, not that sets us apart...Understand the person is to understand the music that person loves.. Not what you think they should like!!

A true partnership is based on no ones leads, but I will always follow and with great respect. My FIL taught me that... You show your respect by understanding and LISTENING, with your eyes....He use to say... Smartest person I ever knew, and the most loved..
Man could he Cha Cha Cha... A klipsch guy too, loved the horns...Corner horns... and valve amps... We have all his 78 collection... Wonderfully preserved..

Regards and with GREAT respect... Scotty
A very happy wife,

Are you Jasmine? A happy wife? Honestly are you?

After all these years, LOL you're not pulling our leg are you...

Something is a little strange...

The chicken soup is smelling like chicken skat? Excuse me if I seem a little skeptic...

Who are you Mrs Jasmine? Is all that stuff true? No I'm not trying anything goofy. Just say it's so.. :-) I'll believe ya...

Just so YOU know I never enter a room unless someone else is there with me. Unless it's my partner. I enter first, otherwise a hotel staff member or another gentleman, never alone... It was one of the practices of the 40. Billy Graham was the example...and the author of the practice..

Yep. And Jasmine’s husband.

Amego, do you guys like to DANCE together? It is a bond
that cannot be broken.... Even with a walker, yes a WALKER.

When the looks go, the hearing is gone, but the walker works...
You got it.. Still feel the beat....

Hats on the floor, I slowly walk around the hat to the beat of the music and my faithful
pup is right behind me. The angel that was sent from above, keep beat with her beautiful slender fingers, as we slowly back around the hat...

Olay, Tap Tap...Merengue!!!

Regards
My wife’s hearing is far superior to mine, and all other male hobbyists that I know. Now if i could only get her interested in listening to my rig, for more than 20 seconds!!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ask her.. REALLY, ask her what does the sound need. NOT the system, the SOUND.

No tone control, that’s a problem if you want to share... I’m telling you.

You need it to get started, EASY and TONE control. Just like you learned... Volume, tone control, widen the sweet spot, two heads are better than one. 101 X 2 OK... STEREO, It takes TWO!!!
