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.

It is all relative. To someone spending tens or hundreds of thousands on gear, MidFi is stuff selling for mere thousands.
To me, MidFi is gear selling for low hundreds like Best Buy receivers and stuff. I think calling it LoFi would be too derogatory.
Think most folks have MidFi.
