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.
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?
