Not only that but the cost ranges are entirely subjective as well. I put down "Somewhat expensive" just because my speakers (pair of 1990 era Cerwin Vega DX-7 $700 at the time) + two 12 inch subwoofers add up to over $1,200 and that's not including the receiver/amplifier and nobody that I know has spent anything like that on their sound system. Over the years, I've thought about replacing my old Cerwin Vegas, but it seems like comparable sounding speakers would have to cost over $1,000 each now days.
