Yes sir
You got about $60(when manufactures buy in bulk)worth of Solen caps there.
Probably $200 total in parts for these $16,000 speakers

I think your estimates of the caps and components are about right. May be a little less more than your estimates for the large order made by companies like PMC. By all means, I agree better components can be put inside a $16K speakers but it usually is same deal with many high end brands if you pull things apart and look what's inside....

But the real $ worthiness of the speaker is not the components. It's the experience of the guy who builds them and know what a good sound is and know how to design an excellent crossover and speaker combination. It takes years of affords and several thousands worth of $ trial and errors for the speaker design.
