I think you have it backwards. You need to compare a $100 1972 system with a $500 2007 system.
But also bear in mind that the product technology was less developed and more expensive then, such that people more readily paid a premium in 1960's and 1970's dollars for what was then considered more of a luxury purchase. I remember everyday folks laying down a grand in 1960 dollars for big Magnavox cabinet systems. That was closer to the price of a new car at the time. Back then, home audio, Hi-Fi and Stereo were IN. People also paid large 1960s dollars for color TV sets. I don't see average consumers paying that kind of equivalent money for audio systems today, and only begrudgingly for the top plasma TVs.
As to your comparison, I wouldn't want either of those systems in their entirety.
