Terms such as Hi-Fi and Mid-Fi are so subjective as to be useless. However, I felt like I experienced an objective demonstration of the difference in my music world. Allow me to explain. Occasionally I read that Klipsch Lascalas are "mid-fi" speakers. This made me feel bad and defensive. That was until....I "isolated" the top HF bin and the LF bins on my speakers. (On Lascalas they are two separate pieces separated by 4 rubber feet) After I did that, the clarity took such a jump up that I recalled those critical comments and thought to myself, "This must be what these 'critics' are talking about!" Maybe speakers which cost $$??$$ inherently produce this level of definition(?). I don't know, but it illustrated to me that even though I was happy as a clam, this can get better if certain issues can be addressed. They don't always mean money either.
