Bah, women are overrated. Speakers only say what you want them to, don't make a sound when you want them to be silent, and never complain when you switch to a newer model.
This made me think it might be fun to have a thread comparing "speakers" (or audio gear in general: amps, turntables, etc...) and "women". (or, to be fair, "men"). Maybe even comparing audio gear to "children" or "pets"! Why is audio gear better than any of these things?
I hesitated before posting this, because it carries the risk of crossing the line of "political correctness" and giving offense. I'd rather not start a thread that gets locked down by the mods because it gets out of hand. But with a bit of common sense and a spirit of fun, it could get hilarious while giving people a chance to be creative, so here goes...
KEY RULES:
1. Please, let's keep this lighthearted and fun. Please keep a good sense of humor to laugh at whatever smidge of truth is in any stereotypes involved, and feel free to "retaliate", in any way that is actually funny, not just insulting.
2.To be fair, remember it can go both ways: For the ladies here, feel free to compare "speakers" (or any other audio gear) and "men". I just started with women, because I'm a guy, the above post referred to women, and it seems the vast majority of AKers (at least those posting) are males. But we can all laugh at ourselves, too, so ladies please join in!
3. Get creative: Comparisons to "children" or "pets" (cats, dogs, or others) are also welcome!
I'm sure many here have seen the picture of the two types of audio gear, "men" and "women", one simple, one covered with knobs. Just looking for similar humorous-comparison JOKES involving audio...

It must also be noted that with the "women" unit, even if you do manage to calibrate it correctly the settings only work once as the internal circuitry tends to drift with regularity depending upon the programming objectives of the unit itself
