Default Where does the money come from?

As I have been out shopping for new speakers I have had one great question nagging me.
Why do High end speakers cost so much more 3000.00 each on up than mid range 500.00 to 2500.00? It would seem that once you get into those type of price ranges the quality of the parts would not be a factor and once a company has the cabnit design the tooling pattern is set. Is it all in R&D?

Those little bits add up to a lot! Take the Von Schweikert Audio VR-11 for example. or the Audio Note Audio Note AN-E Sogan, even the good ol JBL Synthesis. I tried to name a few that were not all that exocit as there are others way on up there!

It is what it is. People are willing to pay for it, otherwise they wouldn't make it.

That's why Bose gets such a high price for their $5 speakers.
