I consider my room Mid-Fi and you wouldn't insult me by saying that.
I was able to piece together a listening room for ~$12k (PL Evo 400, Rega P6, Dynaudio Evoke 50s, Meridan DAC, Cambridge Audio Duo phono etc.).
It mesmerized me when I dropped the needle (or clicked the IPad) the first time. Captured me, my kids, and my friends that visit. Some people would consider this ludicrous money to spend on a "stereo". Here its considered entry level.
Do I aspire to Hi-Fi? Absolutely. Do I think there is some snake oil/marketing in it ABSOLUTELY (I have been a part of that).
To me its more than about sound. I love this hobby, exploring the science and the art.
Pretty comfortable with the size of my d...drivers.
