The Veblen effect is often seen with automobiles. From a reliability standpoint, some of the most expensive cars are also the most troublesome, and costly to maintain.
You do bring up some good points. I've owned a lot of gear of various price ranges over the years, and the cost of the gear often did not correlate to the performance.
There are a few brands where the price could be considered to be high, but do deliver great sound and are reliable performers. The brands also have excellent track records, and are very reliable.
