An audiophile dilemma


A friend of mine just bought the JBL PRX635 stage speakers and they sound just great!
These are not the typical high end speakers that are in demand among audiophiles and they cost far less than their high end siblings.
Sometimes I wonder if all the money is well spent, because for far less $$ someone can become an owner of a pair of these JBL's and be happy for the rest of his life.
Are those high end (and very expensive) speakers really better than the JBL's?

Chris,

My brother auditioned speakers in Swiss (Geneva) audio store. Sales guy presented smaller speakers first and my brother liked them a lot. Then he switched to more expensive larger speakers and my brother liked them even more to finally play the largest, most expensive speakers of this line that sounded absolutely excellent. They took break and talked for a while about prices and options. Seeing hesitation salesman offered one more audition of not very expensive but a "gem" of a speaker. My brother liked it as much as the last big speaker. "That was the first speaker you heard" salesman said. My brother left store with pair of those.
