Average Price Spent for Speakers


Everyone reading this, please respond if you will. What is the average price you spend on a pair of loudspeakers? What determines that expenditure amount? Earlier in your hobby life, what determined how much when you were a neophyte?
Also, for non audiophiles, if there are any reading this site, what do you spend, and what determines that amount?
In the absence of non audiophiles, everyone out there, what do your non audio friends spend for speakers (if they do buy)? Where do they shop? What is the determining factor in HOW much?
Thanks for your response.

I don’t know what to call myself — the equipment I purchased since January 2020 is definitely higher than mass market, but the $8,000 or so total is much less than the $20,000 and up that some here have invested for their total system.  Not to mention, they have much more experience with various equipment than I.

I bought my new pair of Martin Logan 60XT tower speakers for $2200 plus tax last year.  I have neither the room nor acoustics to go with the electrostatics, though I am curious about their vaunted sound.  I hesitate to go to hifi stores to listen to their equipment when I have no intention of buying from them and don’t want to waste their time.
