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 just did a quick search to see what amps double down and found the following do , Ayre , Classe , Edge ,luxman , Marantz , Simaudio , Tenor and some Levinson and Parasound , probably lots of others . As others above have said I don't think that aspect is very important , even in a large room and at lease braking levels .
Tvad , you may be comparing apples to oranges . The new amp is likely quit different in design , there may be other reason's it dosn't sound bright other than just the double down aspect . Is the output the same on both amps into an 8ohm load . Size of transformers can have a great effect too . I guess if an amp is well under powered for the situation doubling into 4ohm would likely help . Glad your happy with your new amp though .
