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?

Thanks Unsound and Ngjockey. Unsound, at the time you referenced the Threshold it had a Sale Pending- I saw it before and it was Sale Pending for quite a while. I would likely have jumped on it.

Ngjockey:

From Stereophile's mearsurements of the SLP 05:

"The SLP 05's output impedance is specified as a usefully low 400 ohms. However, I got significantly higher values for the unbalanced output of 1500–1600 ohms in the midrange and treble, rising to 3400 ohms at 20Hz, with similar if slightly lower figures for the balanced output."
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.
