More potential bad news for some big names...

I dont think that Fosi will die for example ...

The definition of what is low-fi versus High-fi could had meaning when the public had not easy access to knowledge as nowadays...

Excellence of design at any price for any and each one needs is not compatible With expression borderline to marketing insults..

My system at 1000 bucks dont rival Jay high end product for sure but is more than very good and i dont need it at all any high end product , thanks to mechanical,electrical and acoustical basic controls and synergy and wise choice...

By the way my Sansui and My AKG K340 were top of the world product 35 years ago and it is enough for me especially because i was even able to improve them...

There is no low fi, mid-fi or high fi, for me only excellence at all price for all needs and acoustics knowledge and principle put at work or not ...

All these Lo-Fi brands will die with the Retailers that sell them.

I'm not sticking up for Andrew Robinson but he related a story about audio snobbery in the old days when you'd walk in to listen to something and how it compared to buying his first Ferrari as a youngster and being treated like a nobody because of his age and the way he dressed. 

If you're going to insult someone, know that someone.

All the best,

Younger less wealthy folks better get with the program and help boost the hi end stuff that increasingly  fewer neither want nor can afford.

Dear sir or madam, I’m completely baffled by your comments. Could you kindly elucidate? Thank you.

Fosi Audio is not low-fi. Some of their stuff is probably hifi-ish

And why would it die? They probably have hundreds of thousands of buyers worldwide because of the low price.

It’s the vulture priced crap that never sells... All kinds of covert marketing tricks  need to be deployed constantly on these type of forums to make a sale.
