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?

Wow, Map,
That would appear to be an awful space. Headphones, anyone?
I had some MG-1s in a 10x10 room with an 8' flat ceiling. now THAT was terrible. I had to swap the speakers L/R (they are marked) to make is sound right.
Current matters when you're driving difficult loads, and as Tvad mentioned, there's no real drawback. I value systems as follows: source=>preamp=>amp=>speakers. There's a ton of excellent speakers that are hard to drive (I've owned Apogee's, Eminent Technology, Celestion 700's, etc)and of course many excellent speakers I'd like to fool with at some point. I don't want my speakers telling me what amp I should use... I'm not sure why anyone would think this is not a sensible approach.
Peterayer, we agree on that- all the system can do is reproduce the recording as accurately as possible.
Hack, a high current amps prowess might be lost on a speaker with a 16 Ohm impedance.
Mapman, thanks for the sentiments. The beat goes on. I'm still looking for the high current amp in the used market that better matches my speakers and fits my amplifier profile:

clarity with bass weight and refinement
Not extremely heavy: 50-90lbs at most- bad back
amp w/higher input impedance is required for my Cary SLP 05
high current - doubles down - 100-300 wpc
not over $2k
known for quality sonics
