Satellite radio tuners


My wife enjoys listening to Sirius/XM on an IPAD plugged into a freestanding Bose speaker.  Overall sounds like a Bose speaker.

I wonder if there any good quality tuners that would allow us to listen to Sirius via our 2 channel system?

As another commenter mentioned , Kenwood back in 2004 when Sirius XM begin made a good tuner.It is a DT-7000S. 3 times the size of the stuff they're making today guess because few have it hooked to a home system but I do. It is 2 channel with a nice display and it looks o.k. too. If you have a good system it sounds pretty good with an acceptable soundstage. I'd say it's comparable in sound quality to your average FM stereo radios but not close to the McIntosh MR-71 I have. You can find them on Ebay for $125-150. You may not get an operational guarantee from the seller because most don't have the Sirius subscription so the unit is untested. The one I bought couple of years ago works fine. Even found a remote for it from another seller. Likely a universal one would work but not sure. Having a remote for me is a must. I found an antenna on Amazon that operates it well from Tram with a nice long cord so you can place it near a window. Sirius raised their band into the 300's recently but this old timer only goes to about station 185 though.
