My friend Mike sums it up well. Oh I am sure he will piss a few of you off, but I say so the F what!
??? 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?

@dayglow “As more posts come in the anger….. becomes more apparent” You may have a good point.
This discussion is becoming more of a comparing willies debate. Can a smaller well designed one that bats well above its weight beat a bigger shinier bendy toy one? It can be quantified with any feedback given for both possible scenarios. If a friend for example enjoyed the performance and eagerly wants to be invited back again.

@horace_durrant Who is to say, if you are happy then it's HE. |
Your friend Mike is right. Incidentally, the top comment featured an interesting observation:
