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.

Well if you are ever in Dc/Maryland area you would be more than welcome to stop by and give a listen. 
BTW nice moniker!  I just picked up King Crimson concert tics for DC in  the fall yesterday.  Never seen them live so jacked for that.

Good question!

I own the ultimate speakers for me (Ohm Walsh). They list for ~$6500. If your room is small they might only cost <$2000.

Imho $1500 gives you access to many very good smaller speakers including kef ls50 meta which are close to as good as it gets for their size. You might then choose to add a powered sub in some cases.

of course as always ymmv.
