Try building on of those on your own (obviously if you could). the parts alone quite expensive. Then factor in labor (China). Some little things like advertising and R&D and there you go.
I'm sure if you dissected these units you would find the difference in cost.
However, when you start getting into $10k for an amp - yeah - snake oil economics comes into play. But under $5k you're most likely in the right ballpark.
