Yamaha M 5000

Rated at 100 wpc, Class ab I believe. Is it a high current design?

How would you describe its sound in less than three words?

Lovely looking but how good an amp will it be in the long run?

Anybody using one with a tube preamp and which pre would that be? How did you arrive at the pairing you chose?

Thanks!

I’d strongly suggest you consider a Luxman integrated as a better alternative. They have a fantastic preamp section, and less expensive. Goes without saying that at these prices I'm expecting you to listen first and make up your own mind. :)
