Tech 21 Poweramp?

So today I was bored at work and fueling my GAS by browsing around online, and the thought occured to me: Does anybody know why Tech 21 doesn't make a dedicated poweramp? With all their preamp options, you'd think that they would sell at least one poweramp optimized for pairing with a sansamp or something...
 
They would not be able to build anything better or at a better price point than what is already on the market. Modern pro level power amps are essentially a commodity. The only thing they'd have is a Logo on a power amp. This in itself would probably carry a lot of weight with some players.
 
They did - 300 watt mono and 200 watt stereo (if memory serves) Power Engines. Very nice I'm sure, but they recently discontinued them. They were pricey for the power they put out compared to other commercial offerings.
