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).

hi-
The Sonus Faber speaker at $900/pr. I mentioned is not a bling item. It is made in China to a price point. The side panels that are replaceable are solid colors and not furniture wood.
Whereas, Harbeth's P3ESR, while I would not call it bling, is built to Fine Furniture standards.
Some people think paying for that quality of construction provides enjoyment for them over and above the sound, and I somewhat agree.

John,
Would that be the Venere line? I believe the lowest price model starts at 1200 a pair.
