Yamaha amp?


A few years back Yamaha made what was considered an amazing amp. (from what I had read)

Apparently it was a beast with 200 wpc and amazing power.

Can someone tell me what amp it was or let me know if it was as good as the reviews said.

Btw, I understand its not a big $$$ amp, I just want something musical with good power.
thanks

Have both M70 & MX1000. I also use higher end amps, such as Krell and BAT. I keep the older Yamahas around as spares. Frankly, they do not give much away to their newer, more expensive breathren. Between the two Yamaha models, I find that the M-70 is current-biased higher than the MX1000 and seems therefore to have a slightly warmer sound. The sound from these older amps is very full and quite impressive, IMO. I've detected nothing in their sound that suggests they become unstable at low impedance (e.g., w/ my Martin Logans). The M-70 can be had for less than $300. Very, very hard to beat.
