I may be off by a year. The later $2000 retail you paid was sort of an intro promotion because the brand had been out of the US market for a while. I bought my original C7's in rosewood from the UK in '98 at about $1650 because they were having a sale. And the op above lists the price for a more expensive finish. I don't know what the current list for the cherry finish is, but you should compare it to $2500 15 years ago and consider that the speakers had no following then and are in some demand now. I think the price increase is reasonable. They were an incredible bargain before and are fairly priced now.
