I hate to take issue with you, but "price=3D=3Dquality" is a sticky line of=
thinking to fall into. Companies like Sonosax just pitch to a different
market, and that market has much deeper pockets and likes to think that
three figure prices keep the riff-raff out of their game.
For example, look at the closing quality gap between expensive
hardware/software packages like ProTools and free software solutions
like Ardour. Or the price gap (without an equivalent increase in
processing power or sometimes even the inverse) between an Intel
computer and an Apple. Or, lastly, check out the Aaton Cantar--a truely
beautiful piece of work which is more like a Swiss watch than a field
recorder, and at $15K costs as much as a family car or the down payment
on a house.
Sort of reminds me of the $640 toilet seats and $250 hammers that
Lockheed bought from government contractors for the US Air Force back in
the 80's ;-)
