1) Whatever the market will bear. Ayre. Mark Levinson and that 'Red Rose' chinese crap they priced THRU THE ROOF. I don't think Harbeth or Spendor really fit in this category, although as you know - I have my doubts about the Compact 7 pricing!
2) Build them, then add a reasonable profit to your costs. Magnepan comes to mind here. NAD. I don't think Magnepan or NAD, just to pick a few examples, would raise the price of a product five hundred dollars just because it got a good review in Stereophile.
Unfortunately option 1 has been growing in popularity with hi-fi manufacturers in the past ten years.
