HK used many tranny vendors, including Chicago Standard(Stancor) and Magnetic Windings. If you could enlarge and raise the height of the core of the Magnetic Windings trannies found in the A-50 or A500 integrateds, they sure would look like the Citation V. But, the Citation V has such a tall stack of core, it is like a junior Optimation amp's opt...

I think the 250W EL34 Optimation amp has the largest hifi core I've seen...

Many of the vendors used in the Harman-Kardon branded line apparently did not provide product for the Citation line though.
