High current amp search

I'm open to class D but almost none that I'm aware of double to 2ohms. Not so much interested in mega power, just current. 

@lukaszwk Current does not exist without Voltage and the two together create power. The power formula is 1 Watt= 1Volt x 1 Amp. 

So you're looking for 800 Watts into 2 Ohms (since you were asking for 200 into 8 Ohms). That sounds like high power to me!

You'll find the more power asked of the amp the less relaxed it will sound due to distortion generated, and all amps make more distortion into 2 Ohms than they do into 4 or 8 Ohms. The kind of distortion generated is harmonics; the higher ordered harmonics are the ones that cause amps to sound less relaxed and brighter. 

Ohms Law is Resistance = Voltage/Current. By doing some algebra we can relate that to power if the Resistance is known; that formula is Power = current squared times resistance. So doing more algebra we can solve for current by dividing 800 by 2 and then solving for the square root: 20 Amps is the total. 

A lot of amps are advertised with some crazy high currents like 80 Amps or the like. If we put 80 Amps in the formula and give the amp the benefit of the doubt and have it drive one Ohm, we find that 80 Amps is 6400 Watts! So its pretty likely that 80 Amp value does not have anything to do with the output power of the amp (although every now and then it does... that is why you want to know the math).

Quite often that number represents how much current will flow in the power supply of the amp when its shorted out for 10milliseconds. That may not even have anything to do with the power transformer in the amp since that isn't enough time for the transformer to provide much current. Its that plus a measure of how much capacitance is in the amp. By that metric we make a tube amplifier that has that much current :) (it makes 200 into 8 Ohms too). 

The bottom line here is really think this through! It sounds like you have an impractical speaker, unless its an ESL like the Sound Lab (they have a 1.5 Ohm impedance at high frequencies but since its so high the amp need not make much current to drive it). @dodgealum take note. 

IOW I think you might get better sound if you used a speaker that isn't hard to drive! Amplifiers really should not be working hard for a living if you want the best sonic performance out of them for your dollar investment! 

Have you looked at Pass?  I have an X 150.8 in the stable (which is up for sale because my speakers are 93dB) and it's a beast with high power but also quite a bit of subtlety and refinement. 

@yyzsantabarbara You say that the Wotan is as good as the Coda No 8 as if it's a fact.  I don't think everyone would agree with that.  I've read reviews on the Wotan. It's ok if you like it as much as the Coda No 8 in your system with your speakers, but that may not be true for other people.  At $2k, the Wotan is obviously less expensive and that may be exactly what someone wants. 

Old designs but both the 300 watt and 600 watt Sunfire amps double down to 2 ohms if I recall correctly

I’d recommend Pass. When I got my first Pass amp in 1980… it was the first high current amp I owned… and one of the first ever made. The X series double into 4 ohms and probably 2. They are high current designs.
