RE: Eli, do you have any of these HK products?

I have a "McShaned" Cit. 2. It is a kick butt piece. :>D

AR3s, AR9s, or the little ProAc Tablettes my space constrained situation requires, all sound FINE. Mike Samra uses a pair of "Deuces" on his Martin/Logan 'stats, with considerable pleasure. About the only speakers I would not mate to the "Deuce" are big Thiels. Those "puppies" have dips down to 1 ohm and, even on the 4 ohm tap, I question voice coil control. For a tube amp, the H/K Cit. 2 has a large damping factor, but a 75% dip is (IMO) pressing your luck.

Stu Hegeman's masterpiece is unconditionally stable. A poor speaker selection will not cause damage, but bad sound is another matter.
