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.

Perhaps think of this analogy.    

Consider MidFi like watching Avatar on DVD and HiFi like watching it on BluRay.    

Until you know the difference, you are loving the experience. But once the Pandora's box of HiFi is opened, there is no going back.
