hi-fi stereo
Quality audio equipment
Hi-fi stereo is audio equipment designed for high-fidelity reproduction of sound through two or more speakers, creating the spatial effect of live music.
The term combines hi-fi (high fidelity) with stereo (stereophonic sound).
Once a centerpiece of living rooms, the phrase now sounds dated—replaced by home theater systems and wireless speakers: My dad's old hi-fi stereo still sounds better than most Bluetooth speakers.
