This is part 5: With the final stretch in sight, it is time for a recap, as I am at a loss to explain my recent inability to communicate, but it seems that I have failed to convey what this project represents. Ostensibly, simplistically, it is my attempt-and nothing more-at putting together a single-source system in 2021 for the same money spent when I was 16, the current equivalent of $700 (prices in USD unless indicated otherwise). Adjusted for today's values, that equals $5500, but I also added two levels of wiggle-room. The first is that, although prices have plummeted in real terms-e.g., you can still buy a pair of brand-name two-way bookshelf speakers in the UK for £99, just as you could in 1979-prices have gone up by more than the pure inflationary adjustment. They should cost £449 if nothing other than general inflation were applied. Instead, the audio industry has been frozen in time to the benefit of the consumer but not the manufacturer. |
