That is interesting that East European women are more likely to be audiophiles. Do any of them post here because I haven't seen that in the threads I frequented. In the absence of their direct opinions I can only go by what I have heard women say or their actions when hearing a relatively decent system. They hear the difference and like it but would not make the effort to assemble the same system themselves. The only woman who I know who got a decent system (more the speakers than the rest) is a cousin who is a physics professor.
What I have been told and have seen is that they want to buy a complete system that can be easily set up and doesn't dominate the decor. If they have a choice between a better sounding ugly speaker and a worse sounding more elegant one, then you know what happens. They don't want to fool around with impedance mismatches or equipment that is constantly acting up. So from what you say about East European women, then this company seems to be making a rational marketing approach. As large speakers go it is not the usual box or something even weirder. So even if the guy wants to buy it, the wife or girl friend will shrug and say it doesn't look too bad. I guess we will see if it becomes all the rage over there.
