I was going to say "That much in 1985? Preposterous!!".
But I remembered the IIGS...
It used the esonique sound chip in 1986, and it was the same chip used in the mirage synth in 1985..
AND.... one of the designers of that chip????

So, yeah, probably should have been better..
But to be fair, the Amiga sound was pretty great! :-)

p.s. And from the IIGS Wikipage - sound section:
The chip allowed for 32 separate channels of sound, though most software paired them into 16 stereo voices!!
