Okay Ladies

I really like the 30SE, but if you didn't care for the 50SE, you might not like the 30SE, either. They are very similar (I had a 50SE for about a year and a half.) I also had a VK 500 amp for a couple of years prior to the Plinius.

I'm one of those who believe " considerations" for gender/ age/or whatever /are inappropriate here.As in a good system for a ---? I understand this hobby is dominated by men /but it's not like the women in sports or buisness thing.You can buy whatever you want. No dealer says: Sorry no Spectral for---.I know no dealer who would refuse your $$$."Chez- Chez La Fem" seems to be the order here.Degrees of knowledge in this hobby are earned.However, much of someone's knowledge has an opinion attached to it. Opinions, advice, or recomendations taken,should be taken and tempered with your "value-system".We don't all hear the same,nor do we value the same sonics.The world is, what it is. Women timid about posting might use a generic user name; That way we can shoot it down,or praise it on content alone.

Well to that Avguy, I say. I don't know what to say. Hell don't be timid Ladies. I've gone into av stores and talk to guys who been in the business forever and I have listened to the equip they say is great. One of the AV guys in the store said he just bought a pair of Avantgrad, the same setup he had in the store. This guy is about 50 and has been doing this his whole life. My point is that I think the Avanteguad really suck. No offense, but very disappointing to me. Well my other point is its like avguy says its all about what ya like. So don't be shy ladies, you can come out and play. Some of us do play okay in the sandbox.

Sabrina: My wife, who was a model in the 70's and also lived in London (have you ever been there?) thoroughly enjoyed reading your post and it did bring back some fond memories. She is not an audiophile but I do suspect that you both may have a lot in commom. There is one thing though, that she is curious about but too embarrassed to ask so I will ask for her. "Which way do you wear it when you are dancing around in your underwear?"

One thing I do notice about female audiophiles is the lack of antagonism regarding equipment. There doesn't seem to be the "your stuff sucks because I say so, and mine is bigger and better" attitude that the rest of us have from time to time (yes, myself included). Nice...
