JTR Speakers, why so much?

I keep hearing great things about these speakers and every time I got to look at the website I'm reminded of just how ridiculously expensive they are for what you get.  Does anyone have experience with these and can somebody explain why the hell somebody would pay that much money for a speaker that looks like the red headed step child of a JBL concert speaker?

I own tektons........so I understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Starting at $6k for a monitor that looks to be as simple as they come is what I don't understand, never mind the $9k pair that's the same setup but with just bigger woofers.

I think they are priced fairly. Take the 215RT. It has two 15” pro drivers that are very capable. The coaxial high/mid driver is $550 to buy. The large cabinet is made of birch ply I believe.

I have never heard them but would like to sometime and would love to own a home theater setup with JTR speakers. Their subs look amazing based on the measurements.

Appreciate the breakdown.  Would be interested in hearing them in 2 channel too.
