You know, whenever I talk to people about HT systems and try to rate them, at least in the past there seemed to be an exponential cost to quality. So when we talked about my systems back then it was kind of like "ya, its between low and middle end". So when I think about my system now I think thats its still pretty much between low and medium end equipment.
Is that still true? Has technology closed the gap between high/medium/low end systems?
Sure like computers theres still bleeding edge but it seems to me that high end is easy to acquire now-a-days for pretty cheap. I think Im ok thinking I have a medium-end system now and did it relatively cheaply.

If you have more than a HTIB, then you are in the midfi catagory, & you have tons of company!Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2

To me there are so many subclasses to high end that its difficult to say when someone has a system that is middle end or high end.

A few years ago I thought I had a "low-end" system. Until I heard an HTIB. For me now an HTIB is low-end.polkaudio RT35 Bookshelves
polkaudio 255c-RT Inwalls
polkaudio DSWPro550WI
polkaudio XRT12 XM Tuner
polkaudio RM6750 5.1

HAHA very true.... I have stilll yet to hear any htib that has impressed me. I think of htib's as application peices, they are made only for specific applications such as bringing some better sound into like a den or a bedroom but never to be taken seriously as a main source of theater sound.
Not to mention that fact that for the most part normally spending only a few hundred dollars more up from an htib you will gain upwards of 2-4x the performance -
i'll always be low end.
but never a HTIB low end.
