Harman Kardon Citation 16 amp thoughts?

[bobforapples]

I found a Harman Kardon Citation 16 for sale locally. Does anyone have any experience with this amplifier? 150W x 2 5Hz - 70kHz, less than .05%THD Looks pretty good on paper, and very impressive cosmetically (I think 10 outputs per channel). I'd just like to hear some opinions before I call the guy back.

I sold them when they were in production. They are built very well, sound great and will drive very difficult loads.

Worked on a 16A not to long ago.Very nice sounding amplifier.

I have just finished restoring one myself along with its matching Cit 11 preamp. These are _very_ impressive and seem to go for crazy little $$. There's a guy up in Michigan that specializes in them and I've worked with him on the details.

There were 2 versions, as Avionic mentioned, but both are excellent do it is not a worry.

PM if you'd like info.

Cheers,

David

My room mate in college had one. It looked fantastic and sounded great! I love the led display.

My dealer back in the day used one to power a set of Magneplanar Tympani IV's. Loud would be an understatement.

One of the best sounding power amps I've owned. It's very good for speaks that need a lot of power (like the Dahlquist DQ-10's I also owned).
