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?

I have been considering trying a lower powered tube integrated in my second system where I already have a decent sub and fairly efficient tube friendly speakers (triangle Titus XS) currently driven to good effect at up to moderate volume by a "flea powered" 20 watt vintage Yamaha receiver. A similar 20 watts or so of soft clipping tube power might be a nice step forward. My inefficient but sweet sounding Stax sr-80 electret "earspeakers" I use on that system might benefit as well.
"Your Stax "ear speakers" are, ehem, a different can of worms."

No doubt.

They are similar to electrostat and other planar speakers, very inefficient, and require some power (not necessarily current) to drive well.

I do not listen that loud with these though. A 20w/ch or so soft clipping tube integrated could work quite well for these I suspect as well as with the Triangle monitor + sub combo.

Well what can I say? We just have different taste and hear differently. most of the very best natural sounding systems I`ve ever heard were comprised of high quality but low powered amplifiers with very efficient speakers. Utterly natural/organic music reproduction with disarming realism and presence. That`s my personal experience ,if your ears have led you in a different direction then by all means continue to follow it. Ijust know what`s been better to me that` all.
