Harman Kardon Citation 22 No Love?


I have this Amp, and think it's great. But it doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves. Just thought I would mention it.

The output heatsink heating up is due to either bad output transistors, too much D.C. at the outputs, or bad bias heatsink transistor. Usually, there is a transistor mounted to the heatsink that adjusts the bias up or down depending on the temp. of the heatsink. That might have failed. It's also possible the bias trim adjustment may have fail or is improperly set. Find a good repair facility in your area and have it serviced. It's probably due for new capacitors as well given it's age.
@ pmanaudio-  I just purchased a Citation 22 that runs hot but sounds great. Can you please reply with the steps you used to resolve your amps issues?
The Citation line is excellent.  What do you care what people who don't know better say.  Enjoy the music and be happy that you have a great piece.
