Often things work in reverse. The manufacturer decides to offer a speaker at a given price point, and then designs a speaker that it can sell profitably at that price point (or points, if it's designing a whole line of speakers). The price is, as the saying goes, "what the market will bear," and that depends on such factors as what the competition is offering. And, since many consumers (present company excepted) use price as a signal of quality, prices are sometimes set to impress those consumers. This may be less true for speakers and electronics than for other high-end products.
What makes a speaker thousands more...
What makes, let's say a $7500 speaker more expensive than say a $2500? Is it the drivers, cross overs, cabinet, R&D, all the above, etc...
This could really go towards any componant, like why does Company X's Amp 1 cost thousands more than amp 2? I realize there generally is more power and clarity, but do they really have thousands more into it?
