Yamaha Audio products from the past? vs. more current.

There was a time when Yamaha high end audio gear was well thought of....items like the B-1 and B-2 amps, the NS-1000 speakers, the CT-1000 tuner and more.  My questions are:  Are any of you on this forum/site still using any of that gear?  I know there have been some well thought of tuners, like the 85, but how has Yamaha audio gear been in the recent past?  Is any of it in the league of the best from the U.S., England, etc.?

Ok, it might have sounded like BS until your last paragraph :)

".... with all this Sh##.... in various rooms taking up A LOT of space. My Yamaha C1/B1 may or may not “sound” the best but.... that’s the system I find myself listening to the most and “feeling” the best when I turn it off. Believe me when I say, you can spend as much as a house for audio, and still come back home. I’ve done it."

I will second that it is hard...very hard to find something old or new that sounds like a set of B-1, C-1 with a set of BE drivers at the other end :)

Have your units been given a rejuvenation treatment since new?

Can anyone here tell me what the specs are on a Yamaha p2250c. Are the specs the same as Yamaha p2250? Is there anywhere else I can ask?

Thanks!
