What happened to Yamaha electronics?

I just looked at their site and nothing appears to have changed recently. Their top-end preamp and amp are there and their large range of 2-channel integrateds are there, as are their audio receivers (N2000, et al.) and their TTs. High end disc players are available. Technics has at least three.

I have never been impressed with Yamaha electronics!  Always been a hard pass.

Honestly, me too. 

the 'new' streamer amp($2k) has a great revue on the internet(Darko audio?)using 

Daniel HERtz speakers.

i was looking for a new cd player.

I bought the A-S3000 brand new. It was an upgrade sonically from their flagship integrated from 1985, the A-1000. However the A-1000 had a ton more power. Both amps were rated at 150 wpc @ 8ohms. I used the same speakers to compare. 

I thought the A-S3000 was the last amp I was ever going to buy. That was four amps ago! Unfortunately, I had to upgrade from the A-S3000 when I upgraded speakers to a 4 ohm speaker. 

The silver face A-S3000 is the most beautiful amp I’ve ever seen. It would be my go to if I lived in an apartment, the sonics at low volumes are really incredible! I’d also match it with efficient speakers. My old Infinity RS4b’s weren’t efficient enough. Their rated at 8 to 4 ohms.
