Back in the late 50's, I remember pricing amplifiers and they were at 50
cents a watt. For awhile there, I was really keeping up with what
amplifiers cost, as I thought that would be my natural progression, to
add an amplifier all the way to the max limit. Later, I found I could
do everything an amplifier can do, when conditions are right, with 100
watts or less. I decided to save my money for more rigs.
Given the rate of inflation between then and now, and the inflation
since 2007, $800 is about right for a 100 watt amplifier, all else being
equal.
