Is Hi Fi schizophonic?

"Schizophonia" describes a state where what you hear and what you see are unrelated.

The word was coined by the great Canadian audiologist Murray Schafer and was intended to communicate unhealthiness. Schafer explains: "I coined the term schizophonia intending it to be a nervous word. Related to schizophrenia, I wanted it to convey the same sense of aberration and drama."

His assertion is that continual (habitual) schizophonia is unhealthy.
