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.?

I've been selectively buying high end Yamaha for the last 15 odd years and I'd say being well built using money no option parts selection, made for very respectable then as well as now performance ! The amps. in my main system are from their pro series, pc2002m, pc4002m, and pc5002m.
Their powering large inefficient speakers dropping to a 11/2-2 ohm load with no clipping just clean powerful sound.The cost to achieve that today ? 
We're happy.
Cheers
