Low - Fi

Budget - Under Rs. 100/- K

Mid-Fi

Budget - Under Rs. 500/- K

Hi-Fi

Budget - Over Rs. 500/- K [Sky is the limit]

What is more important ?

Well to me, Quality comes first. If it does not sound good [right tonaly] then what ever deal one gets on a product is just not worth it !!!!

However, one has to work with a budget;

Hence, I would suggest the following :-

A] Define the Budget
B] Decide on the room [where the system is to be installed]
C] Kind of music that neds to be listened to [Jazz / Classical / Folk / Country / Rock / India Classical]
D] Buy the speaker first & then the amplifier to match it followed by the front end & the cables at the end.

Percentage of amount allocation :-

Speakers - 35 %
Amplifier - 35 %
Source - 20 %
Cables - 10 %

This is the way I would go about buying / building my Hi - Fi System. The Cost of Room Treatment to be etc.
