RE: High Price

"Since even at entry level, there isn't a large pool of buyers, the mass market audio companies aren't really serious about jumping in (they are going for low volume/high profits - not what they do best)."

"Entry level" and "mass market" are used so loosely it's not clear what consumers and company/products are affected.

"And the rest is filled by small companies that operate on the low volume/high profit model."

Same as above for "small companies".

"The distribution network is either antiquated (lots of middlemen making the original company take in 25-30% of the final price as income) - or it's confusing (buying a $2k component over the internet is not for the feint of heart)."

I guess antiquated means, 'not good'. I would buy a new car over the internet if I thought it to be advantageous, rather than a model to lead customers into dealerships.
