Sometimes I wonder if when audiophiles physically gather if they speak to each other the way they do on these posts? There are many different flavors of audiophiles: the self exclaimed expert, the I have to have the best audiophile, the reasonable approach audiophile, the newbie, the tubest, the if you have Class D...you are only mid-fi audiophile, the pure dick-head audiophile, the I am an engineer and testing matters more than listening audiophile, the rich guy audiophile who says if you were only willing to mortgage your house to buy those speakers you you would be happier audiophile and the ever present old stuff and vinyl is the only way audiophile:-). Ok, so be it, but lets not speak down our noses to each other. I have had many different systems. Some were "mid-fi" and some "hi-fi." I have enjoyed them all in their own time.
