A knowledgeable audiophile can assemble a musically satisfying system from "mid-fi" components. It depends upon your goals.
In the "golden age" of tube gear I sold high end- and what we now call mid-fi systems. My own system was McIntosh, Bozak, Thorens, etc, and that is the class of gear I recommended to those who could afford and appreciate it. I was also pleased, however, to put together -- with some skilled mixing and matching -- nice sounding, musical systems, with Sherwood, Pilot, KLH, Wharfedale, EMI, Weathers, Lenco and other "mid-fi" components (that many vintage enthusiasts would happily own today), and found a great deal of satisfaction doing it. It was more difficult to get right than a high end system, and I often worked with a customer longer to do it. It was a time when you could love being in the business.
I have been out of the business for fifty years. The system I have today has no "high end" gear, but I am very satisfied with way the music sounds.
