I received my Hero's and with them a new Audio Advisor catalog. Looks like Marantz has a new AM/FM/XM home tuner, Model ST7001, $499.95.

Interesting....

They have had an XM capable tuner out since last year. I've heard the older version and it's real nice.

Looks very nice. It would be great if they built an XM only (no FM/AM) version.

I really wanted to purchase the Polk tuner, but when I finally got to audition one, the cheap plastic face and buttons really turned me off. Reminded me of one of those $29 DVD players at Walmart.

the price on the Polk XM tuner has been dropped several times since it came out.. should be pretty reasonable these days. Audiophile quality sound too.
