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?

That seems like quite an impedance swing from the Cary. I'm not sure I would want to be married to it.

I'm not that familiar with your speakers and didn't take the extra time Ngjockey took took to consider system compatibility. My suggestion was merely based upon your posted request.

@Unsound... That's because I've been laid up and bored to tears after knee arthroscopy.

I admired your effort. I do wish you a speedy and pain free recovery.

There's a Marantz SM-11 power amp in the listings right now for $2K even (original list $4600). 110W into 8 ohms, 220W into 4 ohms, 101dB S/N ref 1W into 8 ohms. This seems to meet the OP's requirements. I recently acquired one of these myself, along with the matching preamp, and am very happy with it.
