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.
