RE: HK Citation 16 vs Ashly FTX 2001

Posted by Uncle Mike on May 6, 2017 at 15:31:09:
I haven't bothered to compare specs but what I gather he is referring to on the Citation 16 is it's ability to deliver during peaks (low impedance or heavy bass). It's a dual mono design with a very stiff power supply. Thus his belief that it is suited to the Magnepan speakers. Harman Kardon became known for there ability to deliver well beyond the stated power capabilities with the introduction of Stu Hedgeman's Citation II. When they went solid state they introduced the dual mono power supply.
