I think I understand the intent of what you are asking and it is not wrong, bad or otherwise; guess the funny bones are just over exposed today.
I like the idea of some feedback of negative experiences related to equipment. There is a load of I love this.or that or you should get this or that but almost a complete lack of discourse related to units that fail to please and why. While the $ spread is quite narrow, it likely is a pretty good average range for a starting place.
It would be nice to know that xyz receiver, model abc123, has a tuner okay for local broadcasts but seems less sensitive ago the lower end of the spectrum than higher up and when used on a set of the speakers with a 4 ohm rating, it did or did not smoke. I do see some of this related to new turntables and while speakers have a wide acceptances few open new ones up to show how good or bad the components are. It would also be nice to have the good old ftc power ratings back.
I used to see non public reviews of new equipment that included information such as if the components included the industrial part numbers or only the equipment maker's house number, if a sm was available, it it included sufficient information to do a repair by an average tech, if there were custom parts such as a person and if so, if the schematic contain the information to build a discrete parts replacement. Also, an analysis of heat flow and buildup, dust protection and if repair difficulty was easy or impossible.
It would be helpful to have an idea of what to stay away from.

LOL So, I guess you have no recommendations whatsoever.
how can you be so obtuse?

"it's not about recommendations how can you be so obtuse?"
That's not nice.
From your original post:
"i'd like to recommend some decent product brands in the $400 to 600 range (per component) to non-audiophile people."
Correct me if I'm wrong-You know little or nothing about decent product brands. As such, you want recommendations so you can recommend to folks that considerably less than you.
"folks that considerably less than you" is incomplete as a thought.
nothing new there.

It should have been: As such, you want recommendations so you can recommend to folks that KNOW considerably less than you.
