I use regularly two brute-force amps, both HK products (Citation 16 &

God that must sound terrible. I would never even contemplate buying amps
made in Hong Kong (or mainland China for that matter). And I'd certainly
never admit it in a newsgroup!
I still think the best combo by far is Scandanavian amps like B&O coupled
with English speakers such as Celestion, Tannoy, KEF & so forth. YMMV.

HK in this case refers to Harmon Kardon, not Hong Kong.
