What is expensive, well, good question...
My "price relativity theory": A 10k$ speaker is ridiculously expensive, if you can get what you expect from a speaker in its class for, say, 10%, and expensive if you can get ... at 50%. I've been after a tool to do a job (so I got the Neumanns).
But, and here's the relativity: if you are after "subjectively pleasant sound" or "luxury", design "art" etc. - it may be worth the price for you.
Ceterum censeo: An item has the right price if it finds its buyers (without false/misleading claims etc.).
