Well, but...  if, in his informed opinion (and we hope he has an
informed opinion, given that he's being allowed to occupy the
reviewer's pedestal) they compare favorably to other speakers he's
heard which sell in the $12K range... then he's perfectly justified in 
calling them a good value, regardless of what proportion of his
readership is in a position to take advantage of that value.
