More importantly these companies and their products must first be taken seriously by the clowns who write and edit the various high end audio magazines and e-zines. Since most of these companies are focused on providing the consumer with lots of audio bang for the money their advertising budgets are small compared to the major players in high end audio and without plenty of ad money flowing into the magazines their products will never be given much attention. Then there's the fact that any piece of high end audio equipment that does not require a team of people to properly set it up can't possibly be good. After all what good is the review without the requisite mention of how the company president came by to help with the proper set up of the 60,000 pound loudspeaker and the 10,000 pound power amp (made from a solid billet of aircraft-grade aluminum ;)).
