Wow, how sarcastic this sub has become, barely a functioning answer anywhere. I think OPs question is a good one, and maybe we could run a poll and see what counts as hi-fi around these parts? I am very pleased with my Focal Bathys, but I do not know if they count as hi-fi. They certainly have the most true-to-source sound I have ever heard, but that is just my single experience.
