How much difference do speakers 'actually' make ?

I love the sound of my Naim system with £950 Dynaudio Audience 52SE speakers. The other day though I went to the garage to dig out a pair of small Gale monitors (about £100 I think - I paid £11 on eBay) to experiment with them as rears for the AV side of things.

I thought for a laugh I'd hook them up in place of the Dynaudios as mains to see how awful they sounded (and to assert why the Dyns cost so much!) and was amazed.

Of course they didn't sound as good - not nearly as clear, but really not that bad at all and certainly not a tenth as good as the Dyns despite being 10th the price.

So how much difference do speakers really make ? If I was to replace the Dyns with say a £2,000 pair, would I really notice much difference?
