Anyone would have a line where they no longer perceive a difference or claim that no difference could be perceived...and the line would often be right about at their own system. I would bet there are people in this hobby who would claim their own $3,000 can perform up to the level of $10,000 speakers. And then there would be people who claim those $3,000 speakers can't be distinguished from their own $1,000 speakers. We all make our own decisions about this stuff and we quite often base our comments on the subject on our own choices.
