Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics?

Well, I suppose the original answer from my thread was answered. Can any of you electronics experts recommend a high current amp? That

doubles down
100 watts minimum (200 watts or more preferable)
input impedance- highish 50-100 ohms (for a tube preamp)
quality sonics (known for clarity, powerful bass, neutral, transparent, without leanness)
$2k or less on the used market

Caveat: I know nothing about the seller:

Foster_9, I think there was a typo in your last question- the input impedance you are looking for is 50K ohms (50,000 ohms) or 100K ohms.

Most transistor amps, FWIW, seem to be closer to 10,000 ohms input.

Audio research has some SS amps that come up in that price range that meet the criteria as I recall.

I strongly considered these when looking in a similar price range because AR is primarily known for its tube gear and their SS amps are seemingly designed to match well with higher impedance tube pre-amps and were generally well received.

If I had not decided to splurge as I did on the BCs, one of the ARC SS amps was probably next in line for me especially in that I already owned an ARC tube pre-amp.

If you decide to go for an inegrated, the Krell 300i or 400i if you can squeeze it could be an interesting choice.

I have heard these and was quite impressed running both full range Martin Logan and Focal Profile speakers.

Krell is known for providing a nice full low end and having excellent clarity and resolution. That is what I recall hearing as well. Extremely transparent with holographic like imaging as well, at least in the big, open and airy display room that I heard it in.
