Margins have probably increased a bit but it's probably also true that the BOM is also higher, with diamond dome tweeters, more expensive materials, and a higher quality fit and finish etc.

Although average salaries are only 20% higher than they were 20 years ago, in my part of the world at least, property values have really gone wild, and that does indirectly drive people's spending habits.
