HiFi vs MidFi

Why are you posting this on someone else's thread? It is off topic and you have enough of your own threads showing how bad this set up sounds. Leave this on one of your own threads. 

I get to drive in the driveway. I’m an excellent driver! 

Mid fi,…hi fi. 

  If you can afford mid fi, THAT is hi fi!

  2000$ speakers, 700$ speakers,…..who cares.

  A 5000$ amp or a used 1500$ amp,….?
don’t matter. Clean the components, listen to them, care for them, and enjoy the magic of music!

  It took me 35+ years to get a BRAND, is there a massive difference in sound,
not too much you will really hear, maybe a tighter kick drum, or a slightly brighter or less bright tweeter,…….

   Just jam tunes !
don’t worry about it.

 My Onkyo m-504 I first bought, vs my Sunfire 600 sig, there is difference, only at higher volumes, where the headroom is a major factor!

    Not much difference, 
buy what you can afford, and save a little more,…..save a bit, sell the amp, use that to help move up a bit.

it’s a expensive hobby, so patience is paramount!

I am Mid-Fi.

I guess I am naive - I didn't realize mid-fi was a thing. And apparently it's potentially an insult. 
 

I view hifi and audiophile as a label to be whatever the speaker wants it to be. 
 

If it's about listening to music and music reproduction it's hifi and someone has a little audiophile streak in them.  
 

One of my friends won't bring his kids to my house for fear they'll break something. And he enjoys music and the hi girls he put in his entertainment room. Granted it's a different price point but the enjoyment and sharing of the experience is all the same.
