I guess one way to justify the stands is that these stands would probably outlive your speakers, your computer, and probably you even. Maybe you can pass these down from generation to generation then. In that case, these stands are an investment as long as we need speakers that sit on a desk but it may also be true that they may become obsolete once they figure out how to beam the music directly to our brain cells.
I'm actually surprised to hear they cost that much to manufacture. I would have thought they were the highest margin item instead of the other way around. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't expect them to drop much in price over time unless you start outsourcing them to China
