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 am an oddity... Former speakers, bought new Infinity RSIIa for $2,200 in 1984. Sold them for parts last year and got $1,850. cash. Bought a used pair of Magnepan MGIIb for $200 from a area dealer who had even put new socks on. (He used to be a Maggie dealer, but no more)
I am totally happy with my $200 investment.
IF repeat IF I went with something else, I would try a pair of Maggies MG3.6R's used? (local only !!)
Right now I am satified... and am blowing all my cash on LPS...
But maybe next year the 3.6R's
I looked at the Revel F30's and M20's, but the corporate picture going on with that co. made me pause. and I would up with the Maggie MGiibs.
($4,000 is my upper limit for speakers)
