In general I don't know any women who care about a) home theatre - I've know women who said their 20" tv was good enough! b) big speakers systems. Most seem to think floor standing speakers are the work of the devil and belong in the basement...which is fine if that's where your HT is.





I think it would be kinda cool if more chicks were into this sorta thing, but it seems in this and other AV forums that 99% of the posters/lurkers are guys.

Luckily for me, WAF isn't much of an issue, the wife doesn't really care what I park in the living room. In fact, I just ordered a HSU VTF-3 HO w/turbo which is going in the corner where a small table now stands. She also seems content with what we have, a small and very old AIWA bookshelf hooked up to the plasma. I think though once I get this Axiom M80/HSU/Emotiva combo hooked up, she won't believe it. As a comparison, when we swithched from dial-up internet to DSL years back, she didn't really seem to notice a difference. It wasn't until a year later that she got on a friends dial-up connection for some surfing that she came home and commented that she never wanted to go back to dial up again lol. So even if she isn't blown away by the surround system I am setting up, she will eventually get used to it, go to someone elses place, watch TV on a 20" tube with the internal speaker and think the same as DSL vs Dial up...that she would never go back.

Unfortunately the AV world is a "techie" world, and for whatever reason, it just doesn't appeal to a lot of women. Hopefully this will change with time.
