Hello all, followed Audiokarma for quite a while but don't do much posting. Curious as to opinions as to what to match with a HK Citation 19 power amp. Have a Citation A, Mcintosh c31v or a Luxman TP 117. Planning to use a Bogen tube tuner. Running Klipsch Fortes (recapped) and Cornwalls (recapped, thanks Bob) with titanium diaphrams. Also have JBL's, Maggies and about 14 other sets of speakers. (Yes I know I have a problem but...). Mainly use a JVC QLY5F with a Jiro stylus on a ShureM91ed but the Luxman setup uses a PD-277 with a Bluepoint. Will the HK match or should I get a Citation 17? AK is my go to resource, thanks for being there.

match is something almost all the gear will do with a few exceptions because there are standards as to how it will work. So you can try all the preamp combos with the 19 and keep the best sounding combo in place.
As far as matching in looks that is for the OCD set here on ak. I don't have a lot of the same manufacturer in my rig, others must have the same brand name on their gears.
