This is a complicated question. I would never choose speakers that sounded really well with only very expensive electronics unless I had unlimited funds. On the other hand, I would not expect much from any speakers driven by $1k amp and weak source.
It certainly makes sense to me to drive $5k speakers with $10k amp to get the best out of them, if I really like those speakers.
What wouldn't make sense to me is putting $5k cartridge on $5k turntable and playing it through $2k phono stage.
