Harman Kardon tube amps

Hello Sean:

Harman Kardon had a fairly good run with their vacuum tube products. The most desirable power amplifier amongst afficinados would be the Citation II. The Citation II was designed by Stewart Hegeman. Interestingly enough, The Citation II amplifier was born of the Lafayette 550 which also happened to be designed by Stewart Hegeman(along with Edward Duda) prior to Stewart joining HK. Harman Kardon hired Stewart away from Lafayette. The Citation II features point to point wiring and big beefy transformers that were custom built for HK. Jim McShane is an individual who's well know for his restoration prowess of these amplifiers. If you happen to find a clean one, I'm sure you will be happy with it's performance.

Best,

George
