HiFi vs MidFi


I’m a relative noob to the audiophile scene, having just invested in an integrated amp and upscale (for me) speakers.  From time to time, I hear the term “MidFi” for some components.  Is there an objective or just largely accepted definition for this term?  I’d be curious to hear feedback on what constitutes HiFi vs. MidFi across various components.

HIFI is defiantly different than MidFi.  I lived with MidFi for years good but never great.  Once you lived with HIFI you know the difference.  I relate it to once you've see a photo taken with a superior lens the clarity and depth and colors are so much improved you can then on instantly tell an inferior photo when previously you hadn't noticed the flaws.   The same goes with HIFI once you experience it you'll know the difference.
Maybe you didn't see my earlier post.  Defiantly not about expense.

Prices have gone up since this post but they still exist.

Well ya know it’s not really your ideas that causes everyone anguish. It’s the amount of times you feel you need to put forth those ideas and the complete lack of understanding about what you feel your ideas are worth.

Consider the forum a conversation. You make a statement and wait for others to respond. No need to bump a thread, no need to express your beliefs on topics that have nothing to do with your beliefs.

Do you have an opinion on "I’d be curious to hear feedback on what constitutes HiFi vs. MidFi across various components. "?

Can you be concise and focused to just that question? and most importantly can you do it in a single post and wait for someone to actually ask a question about your response?

You’ve started your own threads.  On those, post as much as you want it’s your thread but I’m pretty sure bigtex22 the OP got it. There is no need to keep blathering on.
