I think the existing legislation covers this, but for some reason it is not being applied to the Audiophile industry, perhaps because its not getting reported.

The only remedy to dishonest marketing, or making claims that cannot be verified is via the Advertising Standards Authority.
If you look at the Russ Andrews site, everything is worded "In our opinion", and similar terms, as a result of a tussle over many years with the ASA. In fact I provided measurement evidence from careful testing at 3C Test
http://www.3ctest.co.uk/ that overturned that ASA ruling, but Russ Andrews are very very careful about how they word their site and promotional literature since.
The other thing with the ASA is that it takes only one person to write in with evidence of dishonest marketing for them to start an investigation. So if you have a bee in your bonnet about this - go to the ASA website
https://www.asa.org.uk/ and make a complaint.
