Okay, I guess I was wrong about the time frame. I bought my Citation 11 and 12 at the Bitburg Air Base Audio Club in either 1976 or 1977. I guess I played them for a few years until moving to Albuquerque, NM in 1980 when I bought the Hafler kits. However, the Citation 11 and 12 were nothing like previous Citation components. They used high negative feedback and had very low distortion on repetitive waveforms like square waves and sine waves. On music, they didn't sound very good at all, but being the technical guy that I am, I was impressed with their square wave performance. Let this be a lesson: Whenever a salesman uses test tones in his sales pitch, beware! ;-)
