Dilemma

Ok here's my Dilemma, I have a HK Citation II (fully restored) Power amp, a Minmax preamp, A Pioneer elite DVD using a California Audio Lab Sigma II dac, Now have a pair of Thiels 1.2's and just picked up a new pair of MMG Magies. Both these speakers want more power than the HK gives.
I could get a (SAE 502 300 into 4 ohms) or a pair of Kavent P-1100 Mono Blocks. That is better in the power end or should I get speakers better suited for the HK ? what's your thoughs

yeah i definatly think you need to get rid of the hk. luckily for you you won't be at a total loss and you can use the crisp 20.00 i give you for the citation on other more suitable audio products.

no i was not mocking the hk at all. just trying to be funny. i forgot how serious the audiogon can be sometimes. have not heard a citation before but im sure its a sweet unit. are hk's build quality as good as scott and fisher?

only reason i don't really care for hk stuff now is i read sydney harmons book last summer and sydney is dead set on digital and surround stuff. hates tube stuff. at least that is the impression i got from reading the book. can't remember what the book was called but it was pretty good.
