Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

Perhaps so, but manufacturers are free to spend their $$ as they choose...

"The sad things is, as discussed here, there have never been more great sounding, solidly engineered, reasonably priced audio equipment available."

There is nothing unique about your observation as it pertains to audio. The same holds true for various industries. There have never been more great-tasting, well-made wines priced under $20 than today. Yet the First Growths of France always grab the lion's share of attention. People tend to fixate over what they can't have. Such is the plight of mankind.

Nor is there anything special about audio that insulates it from the vagaries of capitalism. In the final analysis your favorite industry is largely based on designers and salesmen chasing a buck. And that’s a good thing inasmuch as it yields a certain "trickle-down" effect that’s already been addressed in this thread.
