@bimmerlover Well, because when people communicate it is a good idea to know definitions of verbiage being used.
??? Where Does "High End" Start ???
There are terms we in this hobby use to describe certain characteristics of the components or sound evoked...Without fail,the terms entry level,mid-fi & high end will show up in component reviews or conversations regarding equipment components...
So exactly how do we define these terms in absolutes?I understand there are components that,in this day & age,outperform their asking price in orders of magnitude but even if they do,they will invariably be tagged as entry level,mid-fi or high end simply based on their asking price..
Assuming entry level starts at say $500.00 per component,where does that end & mid-fi start,$2500.00 per component,$3500.00,$4500.00,$5000.00?
How far does that pricing structure go until you consider a component to be "high end"?
What are YOUR PERSONAL thoughts on this subject?

@knock1 not when everyone has their own definitions; then it's meaningless. |
There are people who are going to post that HE is a state of mind, that champagne results can be obtained on beer budgets. However a lot of dosh is spent on this hobby and it is useful to have parameters for discussion. The AI definition is reasonable. Every one that I know in real life would not dream of spending that much |
