His problem was not due to a speaker load because he had a wire that was shorting across the speaker terminals and therefore shut down the amp on one side.The HK Citation series amps were always known for their ability to drive more difficult loads and this goes all the way back to the Citation 2 tube amps.It was very common to find Citation 2s driving Quad ESL-63s and KLH9 ESLs.I think he may have just popped a fuse on the one channel because the smoke didn't come from the amp,it came from the wire strand.
