Yeah, the size you're talking about (assuming that's really
millihenries) might be considered to be in the range used in audio
crossover networks for high power speakers.  Some of the surplus
dealers have/had things in the 5mH/5A range for about $5, labled as
crossover chokes, for instance.  I'll bet some of those 800W subwoofers
aimed at
car-shaking would have inductors in the range you're talking about.

Nowdays, with cheap semiconductors, I think most high power equipment
does the crossover in the low power arena, and then uses separate amps
for each speaker, so these are rarer than they used to be.
