To respond respectfully to Dewald_visser's thread:
I've met many of high end audio's creators, most of whom I admire and respect for their effort. Nearly all of these audio professionals are accessible by attending Denver AudioFest, Stereophile or CES.
The quality of audio is better than it has EVER been and by that I mean superior performance, higher reliability, great styling and improved user safety, with an almost unlimited variety of design choices.
The only possible complaint........the high end business is so small and sales so limited that the tiny companies that build are often expensive.
As with all things that operate on the fringe, that's the just the nature of the beast.
