I've been call the midfi guy with Yamaha MX1, Yamaha MX1000, Yamaha AS3200 and Luxman L590.
What defines mid-fi versus high-end?
I’m in my mid fifties and I recall 30 years back mid-fi to me fell into the NAD, Adcom, B&K…. For high-end I considered Mac, some of the Counterpoint offerings, Cary…. so forth. I had another post going where I mentioned I acquired an Onkyo home theater receiver that retailed new for $1,100. Yet another agoner responded that it does not rate as mid-fi. We all have our opinions of course. So right or wrong here.
How do you define the parameters of high-end versus mid-if? By money range, by brand…?

@webking185 Americans do. Not everything good is American. Not everything American is good. |
High-end, mid-grade vs mid-fi, hi-fi… It depends partly on the equipment and partly on the listener. There is no perfect answer. Have an idea of what you are trying to achieve, know your budget and try to stay within it while on your quest but, most of all, really listen to the music. All of that is the joy, for me. |
