That is a very well regarded amp. If the price is right I would jump. Check our Jim McShanes site for more info: http://pages.prodigy.net/jimmcshane/

The Citation I & IV are preamps, Citation I is the better of two but the IV is good as well. The Citation II and V are Amps the same applies with the II vs V.
The Citation III is a tuner that came in two flavors, the III and IIIx.
There is nothing here you want to turn down.

Give Jim a call he can help you out.

Recycle belly button lint!
I have a friend who uses his Citation IIs bridged for running his electrostatic speakers.

I looked for a way of contacting him earlier. I must have skipped past it when I was at the site.
Thank you,

You are most likely going to need to either do some work or have some work done on those.

Thank you spartanmanor.
Great to have the response. I know what needs to be done now.:yes:
I have nothing more to add until I see the amps.
BTW, These are not on the web.

I have a Cit I preamp, that Jim was very helpful with. He knows this stuff better than anyone, I imagine.

Hi,
The Citation II is a great amp! I have one that I rebuilt and really like the sound! I believe Jim's site or perhaps the Citation Group on Yahoo has instructions for running in bridged mode. If you can get them at a good price, then jump on them. Just keep in mind that if these units are stock, not rebuilt, then it would be wise to rebuild before using. In my opinion, you cant go wrong!
Also, make sure they are not the Citation 11 (eleven) solid state models. Not that there is anything wrong with the elevens, but they are not the Cit II's. btw, each Citation II weighs about 60 pounds!! Real back breakers
Regards,
Danny

I already have two citation 19's. That's enough HK SS for me.
These will be coming from an extremely eccentric person. He still has to pull them out. It will take a while.
That gives me time to make an educated offer.
I see a Cit I and II combo on Audiogon for 1,900 and no takers.
That leads me to preliminarily believe that I should be able to get both amps for cheaper than my Mac.
I thank everyone for the responses.

If the price is right pick them both up regardless of your intended/ended use..
The price was right.
Good advice. :thmbsp:
