$2500, when the average salary of an American worker is around $40K. Cheap only because of credit cards and home equity loans being overused by schmucks.

Epson makes a 1080p proj with more contrast and lens shifting that you can find for $2500, in case any of you are in the market.

@EQC: Maybe business presentations use the speakers (granted 1080p projectors are overkill in business presentations lol). It also comes in handy if you're moving to a new place and don't want to deal with all the wires that go along with the surround sound.

Also much less wiring hassle. Just plug in an HDMI cable to this and plug in the power and you're ready to go. Though 2 watts seems a bit small. I'm assuming its used for Powerpoint presentations so you can hear the sounds for animations but they're not obnoxiously loud.

I work for a school district and they use them because they are too cheap to purchase separate speakers! -_-
