When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi???
What mahgister said..."No product is mid-fi or hi-fi by virtue of his price tag alone for me..." For example, stratospherically priced Bang & Olufsen is not the first thing to come to mind in discussions of hi-fi.

Easiest way to get started is to buy a Bluesound Vault. It is a High-Res 2TB Network Hard Drive CD Ripper and Streamer. Everything you need, and there are few if any better, more intuitive interfaces than BluOS.  
What speakers work with low wattage class A amps
Zu, Tannoy, JBL, Klipsch, Fyne..something with +90dB sensitivity Not all models by the above brands may be high sensitivity but I believe that they all of them do produce some models that are. The all new Martin Logan "Motion" series are all +90d... 
More Bass
They are. I see that the price has risen substantially since I acquired them.   
More Bass

Clearly the imperial project to convert westerners into a seething anti-Chinese mob in order to garner public support for the coming war continues apace with very successful results. I mean, once you are no longer able to compete effectively, the ... 
After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.
I concur. I have been in the game at a certain level since the early 70s, certainly not in the elite echelon but quality hifi hardware. Just last night I sat down after dinner and listened to 3.5 albums consecutively* and marveled over and over at... 
patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole
Sure, provided Holly Cole does not sing.  
I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work!
Couldn't wait for April 1st, could you?  
So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System
I cannot say that I believe that any system is "worth" $1,000,000.00, although I know that it is easily possible for a system to cost that much or more. At some point the law of diminishing returns kicks in, n'est pas?    
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
There are numerous candidates one could identify as excellent stand mount speakers, but there is no such thing as "best-sounding" because the matter is a subjective one. No two persons' ears/brains are identical and therefore personal perception ...
