Hello, thanks for the review. I have been unable to find anywhere the type of amplification used. Class A is my assumption given the hefty price tag. Can you advise if it’s A, AB or D? Cheers
This is exactly what I need for my CX800 Control Amp that I bought back in the day. Let's face it, I cannot afford this Amp, but could you direct me to an amp that is similar to what this Yamaha has? I would like to continue using my CX800 and hopefully I find something that have this much power to drive my JBL 590s but of course affordable. I think I might be able to convince the wife on $1500.00. lol! If you could point me to what's available out there that would be great. Thank you for sharing this video.
@@TLPCHC Thanks for your reply. Can you elaborate by how much better? Currently I own Opticon 6 speakers which sound amazing with the amp but I wonder how much better they could sound for extra cost of m5000
seems the switches are installed wrong(Input-Spiekers)not exactly in the middle. at such a price, everything has to be perfect. the japanese should look more to malaysian employees.
Pffff no way I’d get this before a McIntosh amp. 100 watts a channel is not enough if Im paying that much. It may sound great with plenty of power but I want to say I got at least 300 a channel for that price
...no tone controls?....that's ridiculous. So now even YAMAHA wants us to hear what it gives us??...and not the sound that we love??....love it or leave it???....disapointed
I bought a Mac my first non Yamaha amp ever....I'm regretting it guess I'm about to make my stereo shop happy... I don't like the knob a switch feel in the Mac and doesn't have that Yamaha sound
Yes - We have heaps of these cool wall papers around the store: www.listeningpost.co.nz/About-Us/Shop-Tour/Christchurch-Store/Christchurch-Shop-Tour-__I.83182
Great amp, but you could do better for the same price as far as performance goes, only 0.07 thd, its great, but my 350 dollar onkyo manages that... a bryston 2.5 cubed amp achieves 0.005 for the same price and comes with a 20 year warranty, also has a higher damping factor and better signal to noise specs... Love the amp, love the look, love the brand, even this video, but they could've made it perform a lot better for the money to match its looks... It's looks are killer however.
THD is only a measurement - one of many. I know the Yamaha sounds way better than the Onkyo, and there will be a personal preference for the overall sound too. Yes - The looks are superb.
Hi Andrew. I think you are confused. Thsi si an unboxing channel, so we unbox things. The retail store is called The Listening Post (where you can come in any time and have a listen).
Yamaha has a massive manufacturing headquarters in Malaysia. It is HUGE and built specifically to support Yamaha's high end and high quality manufacturing.
Throwing everything aside. Does this guy have a problem? You sir, have done away with yourself. These Yamaha units are nothing special. In a blind ABX test you won’t tell the difference. My speakers have built-in amps for better time alignment. Audiophiles and their exclusivity. Snake oil bs. You can’t even see those VU meters from the listening chair 🤣. Impulsive buyers and their “upgrades” .. I mean eye candy. People like you is what makes America so great!
Sorry - but anything tested on YouTub is going to sound like your computer or TV speakers (or my mic). I implore that all viewers go into a Retail Store for a demo.
Yamaha amps suck full stop. I know I have owned their high end pre powers. They always sound very dark and coloured and artificial, there is no high quality resolution, transparency, detail, to their sound ever. This is definitely not the kind of sound what you want from proper amplification.
@@nicholasreeves5025 Yam is actually know for having an airy sound...kinda transparent I guess. I own c-60 pre, m-60 amp. I don't think I can put them above my B&K Components reference pre and amp at this point. I love them both quite a lot in combination with B&W'S and Kef's...to each belongs ones own.
I have the A-S3000...now I want this too....!! Yamaha..!!
You can buy BOTH. Set up a second system.
You have great taste my friend
me toooo
Yamaha make some stunning amplifiers. The M-5000 just tops them all, elegantly beautiful! I’d be happy even with an A-S11000 integrated amplifier.
They all sound pretty good, you will love any of them.
I agree Ben, I wanted an A-S1100 but could only really afford an A-S801 and I’m pretty satisfied with it, I love it!
@@nathanjones4039 hey i had an 801 then saved up for a 1100 the 801 was pretty good but the 1100 is a real stunner notice a change in sound right away the 1100 is a keeper for sure
I picked up an A-S1100 on Craigslist for $1000 earlier this summer. Amazing amplifier for the money.
@@kurtzcol What did you end up doing for the DAC? I want to upgrade, but the DAC is a whole other can of worms.
I have the baby A-S301. It never ceases to amaze me how balanced it is. The M5000 is audio art.
The entry level is amazing - but oh boy, the 701, 801 and 1100 are sooooo good
A return to Yamaha's b2. Must be like heaven.
This amp is a Yamaha legend starting from their B-2, P2200, PC2002m, P5000 and 101M and the HCA MX-1000. 10000
Yes - And it lifts the performance standards even further
I love the way you get rid off the boxes and other stuff :))
Thanks Erim
I like it too LOL different from the rest
This guy is wild, love him. Treat $10k device like is worth 10$ ... lol
One of the most beautifully done amp I’ve seen . A true evolution from yesteryears audio components. Wow.
Now to find 10 grand:)
Yes - I agree. It is superb.
"will never be scratched or damaged in transit"
discards all rapping with reckless abandon.
earned a sub with that, my new friend :)
Thank you M.S.
It's sad that the U.S. doesn't seem to be getting this amp. I can't afford not anyway, but I'd at least like to touch or smell it
Might as well throw the unit as well... And the rest of the box and be done with it...
He hates carton manufacturers

That was not the autographed card. That was just the tape holding the foam together.
The only way I could afford this is to include a picture of it in the background wall 😁
Start saving
If I get one of these I am glad I’ll know how to open the box. Thanks.
Thanks LC K
Two in one day? What a treat!
Thanks A John, enjoy
why are there STILL no reviews of this unit or the preamp??
They are out there: www.soundstageaustralia.com/index.php/reviews/290-yamaha-c5000-preamplifier-m5000-stereo-power-amplifier
waiting for this champ to toss the Amp at the end too!! would be fun!!:))
Fun, but no, sorry.... I just chuck the packaging.
Hi, how well can the M-5000 handle the b&w 803 d4? Can it unleash at least 80% of the 803 d4's ability?
Would love your opinion, thanks!
It should control them nicely if Bi-Amp / Bi-Wired
Hello, thanks for the review. I have been unable to find anywhere the type of amplification used. Class A is my assumption given the hefty price tag. Can you advise if it’s A, AB or D? Cheers
Hi Richard. It is an A/B amplifier. Not D. And it is lovely.
Haha! Love the way you throw the stuff .
I know it’s kind of a finger to the dips that complain about it hahaha!
Like y’all’s style
Thanks Doug
Doug G the guy is a frickin’ idiot the way he tosses shit around...
Whoa!!! Amazing video! Thank you mate!!!
Thanks Aaron
Did you say power on to show us the lights?
That would look very nice in my theatre room..
Maybe three, as they bridge Mono
@@TLPCHC My B&W 705s would really like that.
I wonder how close this M5000 is to the AS 3200 as a power amp?
Obviously the pre-power is a step up. But the manufacturing costs are way more for the small gains over the A-S3200
@@TLPCHC yes, I already own the AS-3200 and wanted to get the pre-power for more performance.
Is this biased to Class A? For how many watts?
No. It is a solid "triditional" A/B amp

Yamaha & luxman Koenigsegg & pagani of audio world...can't choose one over other.
Yamaha
Great review, but that was pretty disrespectful at 2:40
Or maybe just not taking this too seriously
beautiful looking amp but i would have no idea how to use it lol. the front reminds me of my dads amp when i was a kid.
The VU meters are very popular. Moden "retro" maybe (?)
Comparison with As3000? What do you think worth upgrading to?
It is better than the AS-3000. If a turntable is used, and a little more power is required, than I would make the upgrade.
@@TLPCHC Thanks for your reply. Can you elaborate by how much better? Currently I own Opticon 6 speakers which sound amazing with the amp but I wonder how much better they could sound for extra cost of m5000
Just wish they would make a 200+w into 8 ohm amp
That is why the amp can be bridged, which will deliver a wopping 400w for those power hungry speakers.
@@TLPCHC ...for twice the price though right?!
@@TLPCHC , yeah, but the sound would be Mono not Stereo.
Are you considering output current? Watt ratings are misleading. What speakers are you driving?
Marvellous amp! Now that Sony has thrown the towel, Yamaha is my first choice!
Superb
seems the switches are installed wrong(Input-Spiekers)not exactly in the middle. at such a price, everything has to be perfect. the japanese should look more to malaysian employees.
That is a pretty critical thing to say about something so wounderful
Pffff no way I’d get this before a McIntosh amp. 100 watts a channel is not enough if Im paying that much. It may sound great with plenty of power but I want to say I got at least 300 a channel for that price
The McIntosh MC-312 is a chunk more expensive. I think the Yamaha deserves its place given its performance for the price
Opinion yamaha amplifier integrade dsp-A1
The Yamaha DSP-A1 is 20 years old now. It was world class in its time, but now surpassed by most AV receivers today.
...no tone controls?....that's ridiculous. So now even YAMAHA wants us to hear what it gives us??...and not the sound that we love??....love it or leave it???....disapointed
C T - A power amplifier NEVER has tone controls.
This is a power amplifier, not a pre-amp or integrated.
I bought a Mac my first non Yamaha amp ever....I'm regretting it guess I'm about to make my stereo shop happy... I don't like the knob a switch feel in the Mac and doesn't have that Yamaha sound
I think you must be confusing Apple Mac and McIntosh.
Scarlett Jo in the form of an amp...
Yes...yes it is
I have cr2020 and ns1000 classic neber dies
Throwing the packaging the way that fellow did is unseemly.
It is what we do on this channel

very HIGH Price YAMAHA Amp made in Malaysia ?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. someone is getting screwed. while others are making a lot of money.

Secondly, the Yamaha MS5000 sounds superb, has amazing build quality and is superb value!
7500€
Worth it!

Wow Ian, I think you need to go and have a listen to this Yamaha amp, before you get so emotional. You will change your mind
Ian I wouldn’t agree at all, it would possibly depend on which Yamaha amplifier you have heard?
Ian sounds like a butthurt fanboy of some other brand.
