Stereophile vs. Sports Illustrated


Today, I received two of my favorite magazines in the mailbox. I have to say, after a winter like we've had, it is nice to look at the swimsuit issue! Anyone else get a look? Enjoy guys.

Just stumbled upon this post. Maybe we could start a new rag, call it StereosportsIllustrated. Have babes in bikinis (made of acoustically inert material of course, wouldnt want nasty reflections off those puppies) listening to high end systems. We could even have readers send in their votes for Miss Tweeters of the Year! (I was going to say Miss Woofer but that just doest say much about a girl's looks).We could even have the anuual Interconnect tug-of-war betweeen two all-female teams, with different brands sponsoring the event.Anyways, sorry,have to run-its Hef calling on my cell to discuss some seed money!
I'm not sure the audio community is ready for fat bearded men and midgets in bathing suits.
I think it is a great idea that if SI can do a swimsuit issue to boost sales, then why not an audio rag also?

I'm sure the girls can listen to music at least as well as they might be able to compete in the NFL, MLB, NBA, etc.

Actually, I'm surprised more big time high end audio vendors don't pursue this particular marketing route. HAving the hot babes involved in the marketing surely must make their gear sound better to more guys you would think. But would this result in a hotter or warmer sound? Hopefully not colder. Further research is required.....
Mapman- Ask these guys: ( http://www.msshifi.com/news_events ) Note the middle-mentioned event. They used to be, 'JB Audio Pimp.' They've used scantily clad females to move gear for years.
