Perhaps we should stick with midfi...

So what is the definition of low fi, mid fi and hi fi? Where do they fall in the wallet?

Definitely a troll. Most of his equipment listed in his four systems is bargain bin and EBay deals

Possibly so. In one of his systems ("Mid is my love") he writes:

All who are constantly upgrading, this might be your answere as well. Also a sub. I am so satisfied with my system, I don't feel the need to upgrade any more, even after hearing a Krell/B&W combo.

So it seems like he heard the system he mentioned ("krell, Audio Research, Mcintosh, B&W 802 D speakers") rather than bought it.

Regards,

My question: What exactly is a "troll?" Is it a "shill" audio salesman who tries to stir up conversation about brands he sells? That definition would help me figure all this out and get more out of this thread. It seems the OP is asking a valid question-- with many of us arguing one way or the other, as is going on now. Thanks all!

"Troll": someone trolling for responses. They do not need answers, or comments, they either want to stir up trouble, or looking for entertainment.
In a post like this one, the trolling can offer some value to others, just as a comment on the question. Even if it does not assist the OP.
IoM on the OP question. I would say the critical thinking about the expensive system is overwhelming the persons ability to enjoy the music. They are to uptight to relax because of the money spent.
On the other side, just throwing big name stuff in a pile does not promise happiness.

you have two nice systems.
