Harman Kardon Citation 22
The Harman Kardon Citation 22 is a high-current stereo amplifier, and beyond the basic specifications below, the record is thin. No production years, original price, or dimensions have surfaced in any accessible source. What is known comes primarily from a single database entry and a couple of owner comments.
According to the specifications listed on hifi-wiki.com, the Citation 22 is rated at 2 x 60 watts into 8 ohms and 2 x 100 watts into 4 ohms, with frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz ±0.5 dB and distortion below 0.03% at 60 watts. It draws 250 watts and weighs 15.5 kg. Inputs are listed as line, phono, and potentiometer, with speaker outputs. HiFI-Stereo (1992, p.114) included a Citation-branded power amplifier in its buyer's guide that year, though the listing's exact correspondence to the 22 is not fully clear from the OCR text.
What little else is documented comes from an owner on hifiengine.com, who described the amp as "very powerful" but noted that "it runs extremely hot." That heat characteristic is the one piece of practical, owner-reported information available. No circuit topology, transformer details, or design philosophy has been documented, and no market positioning or family relationships (such as a Citation 21 predecessor) have been found.
