Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics?

It seems that in looking around for amplifiers and integrated amps that double their power as the impedance is halved (high current), they seem to be in a minority. Is it just more costly to build good-sounding high current electronics and the market demand for them just isn't there, or what?

Weseixas, If some have speakers that don't operate within those impedances, why would it matter to them?

Because it shows a deficiency in the power supply and hence topology being used IMO, nothing to do with speakers.

Why spend thousands on an amplfier that has a mediocre PSU and Amplifiers that do so always sound unmusical IMO, same with high bias Class-A ( SS) amplifiers, they give up life for smoothness and is usually preferred by those not familiar with recordings of live music and or poor speakers.

Irvrobinson, he wants something that doubles power as you cut the load impedance in half. But I don't like feedback (human hearing perceptual rules meow meow...)...

Atmasphere, technically there is no such thing as no feedback in an electrical circuit and hence a zero feedback amplifier, can you quantify your statement ?
