They have to appeal to the portion of the masses that are Apple customers and for them, $300 isn't terribly expensive.

It is expensive compared to what Amazon sells and that's why Apple is smart to have focused on the speaker rather than the smart.

When you compare it to their previous speaker system (the HiFi), it's a huge step up for the same amount of money.

Maybe, but as indicated before I think if that’s the case and sound quality is the focus those customers could very likely do a lot better with a pair of bookshelfs.
