yamaha m-2 amp c-4 preamp set up


I recently hooked up a new pair of kef xq40 speakers to a vintage yamaha m2 amp (240 wpc) and matched c4 preamp. Bass and mids out of this world clarity. Truly remarkable. The high end clarity is razor sharp... however with this razor sharpness I am hearing some raspiness... and suggestions ... thanks.

That's interesting, I was just gifted the same amp/preamp combination, but I haven't had the opportunity to connect everything up. I'm rolling with anticipation!
In all the searching I did for this amplifier, I seem to remember someone saying that it is difficult to change these lamps if they burn out. From what I can tell, there are at least three Yamaha products that use these lamps: C4 preamp, M2 amp, and M4 amp.
