At the risk of adding more kindling to the bonfire pit...dare I ask what you're referring to with "high end" and "low end," gear, cars, ticket prices?
When am climbing a ladder or scaling a building my azz is a High End.
Swimming or sitting on the ground, it is low end.
An alternative woudl be,
My 18 inch JDL SRX-728 produces Low End frequencies.
The tweeters in the SRX-715s handle the high end.
Graphically:
END

No bonfires or fish hooks here. I want to know your definition.
to be honest, my thoughts are that it is in the eye of the beholder. Specifically, some may consider Pyle Pro low end but I have a pair of 700 watt Pyel Pros that I think sound good. My ears usually don't let me down and some clients have commented that they sound good.
I would not call the pair that I have low end but I would call them inexpensive.
I also have a Gemini CD/MP3 player I use as a backup unit and for times when I am presented with an original CD and asked to play a song from it. Some folks indicate that Gemini is low end. In this case I can't say either way because the unit has done its job without fail.
Lastly I have a Gemini Sub and passive system that has since been retired to office use but still does a good job. I used that system for over three years and the only thing wrong with it arre the casters on the sub wore out. I just took them off.
So, how do you define low end and high end?

Dat ain't high, just GARGANTU-END!This looks like high end to me...
HA, Im some kinda damn funny.
Damn Tom, yer just leaving yerself wide open here...
I think you answered your own question -- eye of the beholder (or ear). Then again, ask the person with the biggest ego, and they will insist that nothing less then the gear they have, is suitable...
This looks like high end to me...
Nahhhhh! Thats a low end on the high end side!
Rick's right. Get into a deep discussion about business equipment with DJs and you'll find that the term "crap" translates to "anything I don't own."
This is my opinion only: Upper end equipment is designed and built to last for many years on the road.
Lower end or entry-level is pretty much the opposite. This level of build quality is often a victim of planned obsolescence.
In addition, the logo plate doesn't necessarily denote build quality. Many equipment manufacturers offer various tiers or levels of quality. Lower end components have their place, too and can perform well within the limits of their respective designs.

With no regard to any topic the terms are applied to, high and low end defines which end of the quality spectrum or price spectrum something falls under.
High end and low end are abbreviations for high end of the spectrum and low end of the spectrum.
A Yugo is a low end car. A Bentley is a high end car.

Very inviting words from the staff...and by inviting I mean baitish.Rick's right. Get into a deep discussion about business equipment with DJs and you'll find that the term "crap" translates to "anything I don't own."
Just to disprove your prejudicial claims, I am a DJ and don't use any Denon gear but think it is pro grade/quality equipment. I don't own Yorkville speaks but think highly of their products. I don't own Rane mixers but know their units are reliable. Radio Shack makes serviceable mics but I don't own any.
Now I have owned, but no longer use, primarily because they were crap (Fred's word, not mine), products from several low end equipment producers. Unfortunately, for my gear expenses, I did not and still do not have the capacity to dump that garbage on an innocent, less aware potential buyer. Some I still have as level 10 back up (Level 10 is stuff we use to hold doors open when door stoppers and cinder block are not available), others I let rot and discarded. I'd list them but accusations of elitism, caustic baiting, egoistic prejudice would certainly result.
What some dj's won't do is accept unflattering critiques of equipment that they rely on, despite it being based on actual experience.
For me high/low end is defined by quality- period. Not brand or price. I recently bought some mics that I EXPECTED to be low end, based on price, but weren't. More like high-medium end- promotion received due to QUALITY.
I used to have a high end,
but as I get older, it's turning into a low end.
damn gravity!
to me... low end is based purely on PRICE.
but there are some well made products that are "low end".
which is why I don't use "low end" to describe the quality.
I use "piece of sh*t"
