Hi 4313B,
Thanks for your comments. In my livingroom i have a Harman Kardon Citation 16a connected to a pair of JBL4312A Control Monitors. The CD-player is Marantz CD-94/II with the matching DAC Marantz CDA-94. This set-up sounds pretty good. Using the JBL4312A's i don't have the same bassproblems i had using the JBL L110's and JBL L112's. Compared to the set-up set in my hobbyroom (see pic) i have to conclude that set is sounding more musically. Although these Celestion speakers ain't that big they have a big sound with an enormous wide soundstage and depth.
It sounds almost holographic !!!
Kind regards,

Yes class A at low levels.

If so is it because of the class A operation at low output levels?:blink:
I think it was class A up to 7 watts, over 7 watts it would run class AB.
Yes it runs warm at idle and low levels! John
The same experience as you
Hi JBL Daddy,
I had the same experience as you when using a Bryston 3b for the low end and the Harman Kardon Citation 16a for the mid-and high section.
I had both poweramps connected to two Infinity Quantum 2 loudspeakers.
I bought that equipment wayback in 1978. Nowadays i only have the harman Kardon Citation 16a left, using it with two JBL4312A Control Monitors.

Hi,
This picture is showing the interior of my totally upgraded Harman Kardon Citation 16a. The four black pipes are Siemens long-life caps.
We cut off the leds on the front because they have no function. We used one of the knobs to built in a a volumecontrol and we built in a Noble potentiometer (see the long shaft), The Noble potentiometer was placed right before the input.
Kind regards,
