I did a scan for a free online schematic of the M8 as well.
My recollection is that the later tubed Akai recorders with built-in mono
power amplifiers (which AFAIK included some models that were stereo up to
line level), had power amps that were indeed p-p. But, the ones with
stereo tubed power amps were single-ended. IOW, the decision to built
single-ended power amps was related to issues like packaging, not a desire
to go backwards technologically.
I'm sure that just about every AKAI M8, which were sold in huge volumes to
GIs through PXs and not to audiophiles through high end audio stores, has
been safely consigned to a landfill. Of course it takes an maniac like this
Jute sockpuppet to try to globally abuse someone over a tiny nit like this.
While I'm not certain who abused who, it is hardly a "tiny nit" to confuse
a push pull amplifier with a single ended tube amplifier, especially when
single ended amplifiers are what the thread is discussing.
Please refrain from this pathetic licking of Jute's arse. SET does not
and never has meant single-ended tube, it means single-ended *triode*,
which the M8 certainly was not.
Nope, I didn't say the M8 was SET. I wrote out single-ended, which is
precisely correct. Useless Wiecky, a known liar, lied that I said SET.
Pinkerton, widely known for not checking facts (as in the Quad ESL
debacle when he presented himself as an "expert" based on a misreading
of the*front page* of the Quad site) believed the liar Wieck, didn't
check, and is now embarrassed with Useless Wieck at being caught out in
another transparent lie. Scum is as scum does.

You're a veeeeery slow learner, Pinkostinko, you're gullible, you're
stupid and you're slack.
No matter how much smoke you scummy bum-buddies blow, Useless Wiecky
exposed his gross ignorance and, worse, abused half a dozen posters who
know far more than he does about the M8, about tubes, about everything
else as far as I can see (1). This thread isn't about Wiecky's
ingnorance, it is about his bullying and abuse. It is good that the
known bullies and abusers like Pinkostinko and Krueger jump in to
defend one of their own, so everyone can see who the scum are.

(1) Peter Wieck has the grotesque cheek to hold himself up as a tube
expert but since he was exposed as a blustering ignoramus in the M8
instance, we have also discovered that this "expert" doesn't know the
difference between fixed and auto-bias. Is it any surprise to anyone
that Peter Wieck is known to connoisseurs of tenthraters as "Useless"?
