Following up on Jim w6aim's comment, a friend of mine used to design
cell phones was amazed at marketing people. She says the difference in
memory options, e.g., 16/32/64 GB, had an actual cost difference of
US$1. But the marketing group turned it into $100 difference - and
people pay. She said the engineering group incorrectly believed no one
would fall for it!
Regarding radio speakers, I currently use out of production Dell
computer speakers, left overs from work:
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-A525-Computer-Speakers-Subwoofer/dp/B000GSVPLO
which are great with K3 and also listening to streaming music, youtube,
etc. They cost well under $100. If pair of Elecraft speakers cost 4x
as much & offer 4x as much (any specs yet?), it's a good deal. But
aesthetic value is uniquely personal - which is why such a long thread!
For me, Dell will likely be fine. :-)

Cost and price are "loosely coupled".
Apple products are a perfect example of this
