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?

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.
Yes Atmasphere that was a typo. I meant an amplifier input impedance of 50k Ohms - 100k Ohms.
Fitting your criteria, I really liked the Moon W5 in sound, build quality, and bench performance when I had one on loan. The Bryston 3BSST is also a nice amp.

The McIntosh MC7200 might also work, but their input impedances are usually like 22k. BTW it's a high current amp with a low output impedance, which can't be inferred from it's specs that don't "double down". It's continuous power output into lower impedances is limited by the power supply . . . but that's not really a criticism, as there's still a ton of power available, and lots of dynamic headroom.
