Honestly, anything over about $20,000 is outrageous. The best drivers in the world can be purchased for under $1000. So even if you have an array of them, you're talking a few thousand bucks, tops. Most of the cost is in the cabinet - which is understandable. But even an exotic wood with hand-rubbed cabinet is just a few thousand bucks.
Truthfully, for about $3000 per cabinet, you can have what I think are the best speakers in the world. A full hifi system with uniform-directivity mains and multisubs can be built in the $20,000 range that is world-class, top-of-the-line. Anything more than that is just conspicuous consumption, which I don't say is "evil" or anything, but it isn't buying quality, it's buying bragging rights.
