HiFi vs MidFi

And after two pages (and change) we find that as with all audio terms bandied about as though they mean something, "Mid-Fi" and "Hi-Fi" have as many different meanings as there are people reading/commenting on them. IOW, they are useless as they have no generally accepted definition to the "group" posting here.

Timex (’cause RS is dead) = mid-fi
Tice = hi-fi
Right! Now go listen to some tunes :-)

Great post @waytoomuchstuff

Mid fi is any system with a lower MSRP than the one the person making the pronouncement owns

My Hi-Fi audio system cost me under 500 bucks ?

I should have appended a /s @mahgister
These are 100% subjective terms. There can be no generally agreed upon definition because for most audiophile types that line is somewhere beneath wherever they are (sonically, financially, or if they think these are related, both).
