Thanks for the reply. I agree there's more to it than what I stated.
Another aspect I forgot is the furniture/bling aspect (which you alluded to with the Sonus Faber). Companies like Salk make beautiful customized cabinets and for some people, the fact that there's a competent speaker design included is quite secondary.
My main point is that unless you're a really big end-to-end speaker maker, it's not hard to figure out where you get your parts and what you probably pay for them. This is actually a good thing since there have been companies who bought $1.50 drivers and hid behind a premium image (I have 2 names in mind.... one of them is very short).
