Thesoundhouse has it right. I also suggest place the focus only on the music, and ignore the 'system' except as a means to enjoy music. Better. And NEVER try to 'demonstrate' the system to a woman! Just play some quiet 'mood' music and otherwise ignore the system. If the woman in question asks about the parts/quantity/size of your equipment, best to downplay it. Never tell them how much it costs. Or how difficult it was to assemble or get sounding right. i would actually say: you inherited it, and a little laugh or smile like what a silly thing to buy.
Most women DO enjoy music.. just not the nerdy crap about 'equipment'. If your read the magazines.. often a comment will be in articles about the wife noticing something and commenting. Usually these comments are about the MUSIC sounding good, and never about 'How that preamp has a better high frequency response" Get it?
I was not going to post in this thread, but being asked to... I comply with the request.
