* $1,599 for a computer

* $799 for a camera

* $149 for a speaker/woofer

Over 30 years ago and yet these are roughly the prices I’d expect today

It feels like speakers have gone up in price.

This is probably because their BOM is still highly dependent on physical enclosures, cones, and magnets, which can't be Moore's Law'd-away.

I can find some basic setups in the $300 range, but they're usually bookshelf or slim-floorstanding speakers where you're expected to add a subwoofer to fill out the bottom end, not a true full-range.
