    What Does “Hu-Fi” Mean?

    There is a word "HuFi" in the Chi-Fi group. In Chinese, "Hu" has the same pronunciation with the word "糊", the latter means muddy and boomy when describing sounds. So "HuFi" refers to warm, bassy monitors with weak resolution. As an example, the curve below is a "HuFi" one.
