Magenta would work in the bedroom of that teenager going through that pink colour phase but wives objection or concern to men buying speakers is usually in the footprint, the finish to an extent (it must blend/match). WAF doesn't want speakers in their living room sticking out like a sore thumb and that is exactly what magenta high gloss does. It is simply decor and gender limited.
That's why those itty, bitty black cubes are so successful through good marketing. Very small footprint that blends (disappears?) into any room.
