I'm a little puzzled by the premise of the question -- what is "too high," and on what bands? Anything under 2:1 is easily matched by most transceivers and amplifiers, and doesn't impose significant coax losses if the length is reasonable and/or if low-loss coax (like 75-ohm CATV is used. The 2:1 SWR bandwidth on 40 meters is a little narrower than the popular Cushcraft 40-2CD, which is a 25-30 percent bigger antenna. 73, Pete N4ZR Happy Holidays!
