That is a hard question, because it really boils down to "how much would you think it reasonable to spend on your hobby?". How important is listening to music to you? How important is it to feel you have a "nice" speaker? Ultimately it will be a personal choice, based on your own preferences, priorities and financial situation. Speakers (along with the room), unlike something like amps, DACs and CD players, are where we still are pretty far from perfection, and additional spending can actually get you improvements.
