As you say with DSLR, there is still a high end market but much much smaller than what mid-range audio used to be. I don't have any equipment myself now, but was considering buying one.
In that market, the big japanese brands (Onkyo, Marantz, Denon...) seem to have lost their way with mediocre products. Smaller British brands like Cambridge Audio or Rega may take their place (in a tiny market):
