No doubt there is price bias out there where people see a high price and assume it must be better. But of course that isn't the only bias.
People see a cheaper speaker that say has 4 more drivers (with an advertised expensive jewel - say diamond or something unusual say beryllium or ribbon or electrostatic - and see more weight or bigger (bigger must be better right) etc and assume that it must have more "value" or must "sound better" by virtue of all the added drivers.
All of the biases would likely lead people AWAY from the likes of the Orangutan or the ANs. They don't look as nice or have exotic technology or drivers to hang their hat on. The ONLY way those speakers will compete is when you A/B them against the speakers using the sexy in fashion drivers, ribbon, AMT, Diamond, Beryllium, in sleek slim baffle molded snail shaped designs. On looks and sophisticated design, the bias goes decidedly against speakers that look like AN E and DeVores. And those others cost just as much money.
The AN E is like a sexy bikini - You may pay more money for less materials but you certainly get more in the end.
