On the web I don't find a complete Overview of all launched "Citation" audio devices from Harman. I have found follow models:
Citation A,B, I, II, IIB, III, IIIX, IV, X, X-II, XX, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 16pro, 17, 17S, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25;
also with numbers written in letters, e. g. "eleven", "twelve" or twenty two.

But there must be a lot of additional models from the "Citation" series.
Who knows, where I can find a complete model overview?

Schematic still wanted from the very first Solid State "Citation"

From the Power Amp "Citation B" now a service manual was sent to me, but without schematic - see attachements about
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/soli...don-citation-b-1963-1964-a-2.html#post2345628

Even
Harman Kardon - Designed to Entertain
itself can't send this schematic to me

Perhaps this amp was the OEM version of JBL's/Lansing's first "Solid State Energizer Transducer"
go to post #5, #6 and #46 about
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/soli...id-state-audio-amplifier-components-want.html
From this devices I also don't find schematics.

Because Harman has updated their website, this URLs are death.
there are several other portals for free-download like hifi engine or
Harman Kardon CITATION 23 Manuals, Support and Troubleshooting - Amps
but I would like to know the new URL from Harman itself. Who knows that URL?
 
Harman's homepages are completely revised.
Where are now the download aera for the legacy products (particularly service manuals) ??
Even the employers by harman itself can't help me to find the download aera and inform me, to order copies against a fee of about $ 20 the service documents about the authorized service center.

Citation xx

As I know the last Citation stereo amp devices:
http://manuals.harman.com/HK/Service Manual/Citation XX schems.pdf (Citation XX)
http://www.popolo.com/Cust_MH/xxphkdocumentation.pdf (Citation XXP dokumentation)

Looking at the main pc board of xx ,you can see that is like XI or 22 .The circuit is the same for 99% ,except for power and assembler.I can say that XI perhaps is better in the input stage(j fet).The output use 7+7 power (+2 driver)transistors(as naka pa7,mc intosh 7200 ecc),a common number for 250 w/8ohm.Are the same used by integra (MT200).More inteligent and appeared for the first time is the cancel of temperature distorsion ,with direct contact in a high temperature thermo capacity gildet plate....you can find a manual with the input ,lamps and suply schematic.Also the input is of old version without the source transistor .That exist in XI (are the same,as in new version).I can see in the pcb 4+4 pre driver and bias(2 relays) transistors ,also 3+3 for the protection.Is ease to make a clone ,but i haven't a photo near distance of pcb .Only from a repair center its possible to have.
Its difficult to find in ebay that amplifier cause the numbers of units was 1000-1500 pieces.The onest cost today must be 1000 euro. Is a more of 35 years old piece....Today accuphase is the king of quality..
