does anyone have experience with h/k citation 16a?

new to audiogon. Building system on tight budget. I have focal 918 floor speakers, marantz 8500 125w/ch. Looking for amp and advice! I read in an older article that the vintage h/k citation 16a was a good fit for the focal. Thought of getting 2 and bridging for 500w/ch with a preamp. OR....haha spending more on 1 amp, maybe mcintosh or bryston? I would have to use marantz as preamp then for $ reason, of course.
