It's all down to what you hear I am afraid, I am sure Doug who started this post would be able to hear tiny differences between speakers that you and I would have no clue about.
However, I have sat in and listened to an SQ car install (Wentworth Car Radios BMW - there was a time when they were well known on the scene) which had 8 grand's worth of kit + approx. the same in labour, and let me tell you, the experience was out of this world (Dynaudio and soundstream).
Try and do a blind test between run of the mill speakers and quality speakers, you'll be surprised at how much better they are.
Then again, if you can't hear the difference, there's no point splashing out the extra money
It's an individual thing.
