What makes a speaker thousands more...


What makes, let's say a $7500 speaker more expensive than say a $2500? Is it the drivers, cross overs, cabinet, R&D, all the above, etc...

This could really go towards any componant, like why does Company X's Amp 1 cost thousands more than amp 2? I realize there generally is more power and clarity, but do they really have thousands more into it?

Refinement, better drivers, Better bracing, less resonance,
better sound dispersion, better cabinet construction, nicer finish, in some cases more R&D so you have better driver matching and better coherence. I would say refinement is the most common benefit. The cost vs value is not exponential.
Like cars.. most will get you there.. but some make it exciting and fun along the way..
