Why is there no Mid End


We are all audiopiles quote un quote who accept the term High End to describe expensive or if you must reference grade sound reproduction. Some of us freely admit that we have mid-fi equipment but never say mid end or even sub High End. Even if you were to use the fact that High End implies a limiting superlative why don't we say this is a Low End piece we use low fi (or other language that's even worse) more frequently.

Because people have to justify thier purchases, and ridicule anyone who spent more all in the same breath. The common maxim is: HiFi is what I have, midFi is what I used to have, lowFi is what anyone else has, either that or tin ears since they did not recognize that MY system is the pinnacle of human achievement.

Audiophiles are too insecure to have it any other way...
