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 have a Yamaha AV receiver for the livingroom theater set up.
Bought a pair of vandesteen 5’s and thought I could just plug them in like any normal speaker.
Nope. Needs a pre in and out for the separate external bypass.
So I’m looking at a local Yamaha MX1000 power amp to keep the same brand.
Apparently they have a following.
