Some interesting reads

High current is a marketing term - some of the best sounding amps are not high current - in fact I'd go one further and say if it says High Current then it's best avoided because it's marketing and if they need to do that on their box then they're afraid of just letting you listen with your own ears.

I always thought HIGH CURRENT is the reason Onkyo, H/K, Marantz, Denon and the like have more power than a Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood and the like with the same wattage rating. Somthing about them running at 30-40 amps instead of only around 10 so a 100 watt high current amp can achieve more volume than a 100 watt low current amp. I think I read it in H/K literature. And you are right, not the best sounding amps but mid-fi instead of budget.
